we would not have to bend them if we put them in diagonally; or should they not 

 be put ifc diagonally at all f but rolled up at the sides? Would you consider two 

 small specimens (if it should becorae necessary) both with good flowers and fruits 

 as a complete one? 



Next Sunday we shall have an opportunity to go the Settlements Therefore, we 

 should be happy to have your answer in time. 



I am enclosing a leave of the Asel, in our field, I am very interested to know 

 whether it is gifcar glaberrina. 



Many thanks for naming the plantsj But I have to apologize for the condition 

 they were in, even though I had nothing to do with it. I took the package to Siegmann 

 in the afternoon as he told me to since he planned to leave in the evening. But there 

 was a delay of ^ days which he did not expect and in the meantime the good people poured 

 some water in to the keep the plants greenj Without that the plants might have arrived 

 almost dry. 



Sincerely yours, 

 Th. C. Hilgard.
