SUGGESTIONS FROM MEERUT. CO 



Northern 



From MR. HENRY COPE, late Secretary of the Horticultural 

 Society at Meerut, to DR. SPRY, Secretary of the Agri- 

 cultural and Horticultural Society of India, dated otith 

 September, 1839. 



MY DEAR SIR, 



As the introduction of plants from England, and 



vice versfi, has been made the subject of inquiry 



in your Society by a Special Committee, and you 



have solicited suggestions from members, I have 



taken the liberty of sending a copy of a letter 



addressed by me some years since to the Secretary 



of the Horticultural Society of London, which 



though hastily written, may contain a hint or two 



the Committee might find useful in their present 



researches. As it stands, if the copy affords but a 



single item of novelty in hints, I shall be happy in 



having contributed even that little to the labours 



of the Society, which are progressing steadily and 



usefully in their career. 



I have only found leisure to add two or three 



notes, which may interest. 



HENRY COPE.
