DCP-LETT-12027

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
James Torbitt
Date:
3 May 1879
Source of text:
National Botanic Gardens of Ireland Library, Glasnevin (DSS/DM/1/1/16)
Summary:

Encourages JT’s experiments. His case of flowering of black potatoes is curious. CD surprised that they are odoriferous and visited by bees. This letter was thought to be to David Moore, because it was in the private collection of a descendant, but is extremely close to a draft to JT on the letter from JT, 30 April 1879 (DCP-LETT-12020). It is not known how it passed from JT to David Moore.
