My dear sir: 



I have just read wit h interest your note on the 

 in Rhodora. 



"rose" colored Lupinus perennis. This species is frequent to 



abundant in the northern counties of this pjtate in localities 



where the soil is sandy. I have seen it in great quantities in 



several counties, but never until this year did j ever see a 



pink or white forr.. Thiw year in Elkhart county about 4 miles 



northwest of Middlebury I found this species abundant along 



the roadside for a distance I will say of 50 feet. Among the 



great nunber I found two colonies of rose pink plants. There 



was no trace of blue on the petals. I think I have one sheet 



for the Gray „erb. v;hich you can see when I send it in v/hich 



will be sone time in early Feb. The plants were not mature 



enough to find seed, or I should have tried to propagate the 



form. Thinking this might be of interest to you I write. I 



will say the form in this ^.tate is rare, for I am pretty well 



acquainted with the flora of this ^tate. I have collected in 



allparts and have an herbarium of 22,000 



Yours truly,
