Dear Sir: 
We want to build up our herbarium of pomolog- 
ical and other esculent plants. Just now we are espec¬ 
ially anxious to secure specimens of Rubus, Ribes, Fra- 
garia, Vitis, Prunus and Pyrus. Professor Bailey tells 
me that you may have duplicate plants for sale of some 
of these genera and if not that you might offer us some 
next fall. If you have such material on hand, will you 
let me know what and what the charge for it may be. 
Very truly yours, 
IX , (p
