Dec 31 /69

Dear Mueller

All the best wishes of the season to you. herewith fresh seeds of Pistacia Atlantica in bag, & with this of Cedrus Atlantica & Abies Baborensis!

Sincerely Yr

J D Hooker

 

Thozet all right & case in fair order, far too much earth in case & the plants travel better in rather stiffer soil in the pots & less of it — i.e. more rocks below, less & stiffer earth above.

Haussmannia alive, wh1 T. takes to Paris —

Myosotidium dead — we want it badly.

Thozetia alive.

Mesembryanthemum tegens we have had as M. debile of Cape2 for last 50 years.3

Yrs

J D Hooker
