[From Baron von Mueller, Government botanist, forwarding two packets of seed—white French sugar beet and Vilmorin's improved sugar beet.]
Letter not found. The text given here is from 'Correspondence', in a report of the meeting of the Marong Shire Council, Vic, held on 7 December 1893 (Bendigo advertiser, 8 December 1893, p. 4). The report continues: 'Received with thanks; the seed to be distributed as far as possible amongst those desirous of trying it'. The seeds were probably sent around the middle of November when seed was distributed to other councils; see M to T. Easton, 16 November 1893 (in this edition as 93-11-16b) and notes thereto.
