Feldhausen 1
April 2/36
My dear Sir
The annexed is a Pod of Seeds of the Strelitzia Alba a magnificent flower from the Knysna growing 20 or 30 feet high and said to be a great rarity if ever before imported into Europe.– Sow in good Peat Sand as usual with Cape Seeds. – I intended to have sent you some bulbs having just got a lot of fine Brunswickia but the ships have come so late that it is now past the season for shipping them.
Yours in haste
JFW Herschel
