Dear Doctor, 



Your letter of February l4th has arrived. 



I collected spring specimens of Quer « agrifolia for you and shall send 

 them to you soon. Those of the trees of this species which have blossoms 

 really throw off their .leaves almost entirely, as soon as the new ones 

 together with the blossoms have developed. Other neither have blossoms 

 nor new leaves, but keep the old ones. They look quite stränge next tö 

 the others. However, I shall devote more interest to this matter, especially 

 when I come to Anderson Valley on the Ist. The local ones are never without 

 leaves . 



Should I not join the work on the survey, I can collect the necessary 

 specimens; however, should I join, I have to delay collecting for a Short 

 tirae. Perhaps, it is then possible to collect the necessary numbers. I 

 cannot teil now how many species there are since up to now I did not pay 

 any attention to the Junci. 



I shall watch out for Nuphar and the vario^s other things. 



Enough for today, for in a few days I go into the field and I am 

 happily excited about it* 



Respectfully yours, 



Henry N. Bolander 

 Did you use the winter to select for me some grasses and Carex ?
