i'-j dear jV:r.Deane, 



I axA editing the ne'.? edition of the Vermont I'lora and now that I K^i 

 j-iave luy herbarium handy for reference (the first time in ten j/ears) it seem 

 -3 like old tiii.es to setjyour nice specimens. 



You published a list of the Utricalaria of New England in July 1904. 



That was just at the time that I was going to Hew York and I am afraid 



that 1 did not give you all of the information oossible in re^'ard litricul a- 

 r 



ria pu^urea specimens of Dr .i'erdinand Blanchard. Dr.Jesup put very little 

 laaterial into Jai s he rbariui.i at Hanover that he had collected in his twelve 

 year experience at Amherst, Eass. He often let students have duplicate ma- 

 terial and K.ii. Sargent and I took all of the duplicates that wi wanted, 

 Senior year. Ve drew cats -/hen there was only one specij.'ien and Sarger^Pa 

 specimen of Utricularia from Dr .Blanchard. Perhaps you have found out a- 

 bout ohis specimen. I would not want to say that there is no specimen of 

 the species in the J e sup herbarium. I will write >'r. Harold G-.Rugg in 

 Hanover. and have him send you the specimen if there is one. 



Can you give me any stations for Utricularia purpurea in Vermont or any 

 othtfT stations I'or tbe rare ones? 



Have you any station for H ydroph y llum canadense in Vermont or Hew Englan 

 yet? Am in hopes o^^etting to Cambridge some time within a. month. 



-'^ Very truly yours
