From Ferdinand von Mueller to James Casey   15 May 1873

Melbourne bot Garden,

15/5/73

Sir

In compliance with your request, conveyed in your communication of the 3 inst.¹ I have the honor to submit herewith a return of all plants, seeds, cuttings &c furnished from the botanic Garden during the year 1870. The only entries, which are not made, are those of fresh medicinal herbs, flowers or roots, supplied to patients on request of legitimate practioners,² further fresh leaves of the White Mulberry trees for Silkworm-food, also flowers for objects of drawing or painting or modelling &c, which to enter it was deemed a mere waste of time. The plants, supplied to churches, schools, cemeteries and other public institutions were to a very great extent strong pot-grown plants. Should the return be required to be still more explicative, then it can be enlarged.

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller
