I shall be -lad to publish in Garaen and Forest ficfuros of 
new Ferns, especially- of such as seen to he interesting fron a horti 
cultural point 01 view. It seems to me, hovrcver";^tliat it would be 
-rea/t deal better if the original descriptions -accGiupanied the illus 
t rat ions rather than to quote these fron the Botanical Gazette. If 
ycu arc obliged to send the descriptions to th.e Gazette, I should t:i 
it v/ould be nuch siller to publish the illu sti^ations. there. T/Ii}^ 
couldn't th.e list 3'ou say you are preparing go into Garden and Fores 
Yours veiy trul;',
