Melbourne bot Garden
19/3/69
As it may be still some time, dear Sir William, before the catalogue of my Garden plants can be printed,1 I thought it but right early at the planting season to offer you the following plants preliminarily, as I have some to spare of each kind, and will gladly send them in reciprocation for the generous gifts which my Department received from you
Pinus Sinensis
Cupressus excelsa
Chamaecyparis thurifera
Araucaria imbricata
Podocarpus Totara
Pinus Smithiana
— longifolia
— excelsa
— insignis
Cupressus macrocarpa
Juglans nigra
— cinerea
Carya tomentosa
— oliviformis
Quercus bicolor
— Castanea.
There are many other plants which I could offer from my nurseries, and if I had some general indications of your requirements, I could easily effect the selection.
With best regards dear Sir William,
your
Ferd. von Mueller.
