Discusses case of Cytisus graft described by JJW.
Yellow flowers occurring on a purple Cytisus grafted onto a yellow stock.
Yellow and purple flowers occur on plant grafted with Cytisus purpureus, but only on separate racemes. Only yellow blooms seed.
Is very interested in JJW’s report on a purple laburnum grafted onto yellow stock which then produces yellow flowers. CD requests racemes to examine.
Sends CD some of the Cytisus, which has produced yellow flowers on a purple graft.
Regarding Cytisus graft with yellow flowers, CD thinks nurseryman has sold Cytisus adami to JJW’s brother in place of C. purpureus. This explains apparent "sport". [P.S. on envelope:] C. purpureus seeds freely. C. adami never does.
JJW is to think no more about mistake [regarding Cytisus graft].
