Is greatly obliged for the present of flowers. Has introduced another Herschellia into the world as he has used the name for a Disa.
Will be pleased to examine the dried plants. Send them to the Horticultural Society's Garden, Turnham Green.
Has opened the box of dried specimens, but they are unsuitable for his purpose as they are not flat. Suggests that King's College or University College may be a more suitable home for them.
Is working on horticultural considerations of Cape plants and would welcome information on the temperature just below the surface of the soil in relation to the temperature of the air.
