Mr. Walter Deane, 



Canbridf^e ,Mass. 



Tly dear Mr. Deane :- 



I suppose you have recei\/-ed all tJoose books 



requested in your last postal card, except the Cotton Bulletin. I 

 cannot get this for you until the new edition is ready. I think I 

 sent you in addition the last report of the Secretary of the Smith- 

 sonian Institution. 



Will you please look into your bundle of Tiedmannia at T.tere- 

 tifolia . The specimen sent out by Mr.Ganby from Ellendale , Dela- 

 ware has very different fruit from the one which comes from Florida 

 and thereabouts. My Delaware plant is without root or root leaves. 

 Let me know what you find in your herbarium. When you are at the 

 Gray herbarium next tim.e will you look up the material there also? 

 Do not make a special trip for I m\ in no hurry. 



Yours very truly, 



Assistant Curator, 



Department of Botany.
