Letter (WCP3635.3536)

[1]1

Curiously enough we are within 5 miles of the only place in England out of Cornwall where Erica siliaris grows, on the heaths between Poole & Corfe Castle. We have not yet seen it as it is said to be abundant & very fine. If however you have or can get a nice young plant of the Cornish plants it wiIl be very acceptable to compare with the Dorsetshire variety...We have here a nice sheltered garden where I think we shall be able to grow a great many plants…
