Dear Mr. Deane: 



I have just named the two specimens of Amelanchier 

 and am sending them back to you "by mail toaay. One of them 

 is the common Amelanchier, A. laevis , of eastern Massachusetts. 

 !The other is A. stolonifera which is common about Wellesley 

 and the Blue Hills, hut is not common as far west as Athol. 

 We do, however, have a specimen of it from Millers Falls on 

 the Connecticut River. 



I am sorry that I did not get to see you this 

 summer. We had such a pleasant visit at your summer home 

 last Pall that I should have enjoyed a trip through the moun- 

 tains again this year. Hew Toundland, however, took all 

 our spare time this summer. We saw a great deal of Pease 

 this summer and I "became much "better acquainted with him 

 than every "before. I shall have another place to stop in 

 the White Mountains when I visit that region again. 



Mrs. Wiegand joins me in sending "best wishes to 

 "both you and Miss Brown. 



Sincerely yours,
