Reports on Fritz Müller’s observations of cross- and self-fertilisation. HM will cultivate the two forms [i.e., mainly self-fertilised and mainly cross-fertilised] in the way CD has described.
He continues his observation of wild flowers. Encloses drawing of Viola tricolor with notes on its self-fertility.
