Mr. Walter Deane, 



Cambridge, Mass; 

 My deer Deane 



Your postal card of April 2d. was duly received. 

 Verbascum phlomoides is firmly established at Dickey's Mills, Ky., 

 and threatens to prove a very troublesome weed. 



Hymenocallis occidentalis is the plant referred to in Gray's 

 Manual, and grows naturally about Litchfield, Kentucky. 



Yours very truly. 



Assistant Botanist.
