My dear Henry
I arrived time enough last night to see the terrace by twilight & this morning I discover several novelties some of which may interest you – a blaze of Iris Germanica, Florentina, (cristata is in the garden) Saponaria ocymoides in a beautiful tuft – plenty Narc. Bulbocodium – feather hyacinths, yellow & lilac mesembryan. Veronica laciniata I believe, very pretty – pinks, tulips, Calla Œthiopica, Oxalis cernua, Cineraria populifolia, Scilla campanulata & verna, Allium roseum & magicum, Silene acaulis & decumbens, Mathiola 3cuspidata 2, ornithog narbonense alias pyramidale in large buds.
A Cheltenham & Weymouth coach is lately set up, I shall find out if it passes near Weymouth 3 & send you some Iris pumila & other things you may want.
I enclose Veronica laciniata & Sedum ternatum.
Let me hear from you & I will send you some more scraps – The heat is something [illegible] on the terrace today – have you Narcissus biflorus we can spare lots – I add to my list Erodium, chamedryoides & hymenodes Iris pavonia & Lusiana
We fix to go to town Monday fortnight – Withering 4 says Conv. multiflora has been found in Hampshire.
Yours
