immediately reimburse you. In order to furnish guarantee for you, I have made use of 



my position as foreign secretary of the Physik. -Ok. Society, which has a friendly exchange 



arrangement with your Academy. 



Of the two main varieties I would like to have 50 or more seeds, of the other varie- 

 ties somewhat less. Because I want to plant a good many, give to the local botanical 

 garden and to friends, in order to maintain the varieties. 



If enough seeds are no longer available at this time, then I would like to receive 

 them this Autumn, and will also be satisfied with less (especially if angustifolia is 

 araong them): if however I cannot obtain any at this time, then please let me know 

 by postcard. 



Regarding the shipping, the postage as a package would be very expensive. I think it 

 would be best to send it in a linen bag as "Samples," "Konigsberg-Ostpreusen, Germany - 

 via Hamburg. M From here we can send to America seeds, without a given value, as sample 

 up to 250 gr. and at 10 Pfennigs for each kO gr. (somewhat over 1 penny enp-lish) via 

 Hamburg or Bremen. 



Anyway this will probably also be possible from America. Tf this is not the case, 

 then please send somewhat less seed of each variety enclosed in a letter. 

 I will be very glad to give any favors in return. 



Sincerely, 



Dr. 0, Tischler 

 Königsberg-Ostpreusen 

 Vorderrossgarten 55.
