Chevalier De Jardin
Consul General for France, Melbourne.
Some former sendings of mine in the rural interests of your great Country, dear Chevalier De Jardin, have met with such very friendly acceptance, even from his Excellency the Minister of Foreign affairs, that I can venture to offer an additional contribution. So I beg this time to forward a quantity of seeds of the Kochia pyramidata, a kind of saltbush, of which I could never before obtain a large lot. The seeds are quite fresh, and of one of the best species for some what saline sheep-pastures.
Most regardfully your
Ferd. Von Mueller.
