KILLERTON GARDENS,

EXETER.

Dear Sir,

In reply to yours of the 29^th. regarding Mutisia decurrens, I shall be very pleased to let you have a plant in exchange for two plants of Puya caerulea.

I hope they are the right thing? I ask this as there is [sic] plants here, in the rock garden which was [sic] said to be Puya caerulea, but as far as I [2] know they are wrong. Would you mind sending me one plant to see, or else a few mature leaves? The Mutisia I would send is nicely rooted & established in a pot.

Would you kindly give names of some of your other choice plants, or mention other plants you would like to have, as we may be able to exchange. I could give cuttings of the choice Dendromecon rigidum. I have a lot of cuttings in but cannot say wether [sic] they will root untill [sic] spring. I also have plenty young plants of Eucryphia [3] pinnatifolia.

Thanking you in anticipation.

I am, | yours faithfully | John Coutts² [signature]
