Dear Sir 
I have the honour to inform you, that I an sending you with sane 
nail seeds of two of our best trees of Hevea brasiliensis. Rot only are 
% 
they good producers, but the viscosity-index of the produce of No.i is 
1.92 and of No. 3 2.02, and therefore tpr above the average. 
r y If possible I would like to receive a few5ampies of seeds of your 
best trees in return, especially from original imported trees, g^rown from 
Wickham' s seeds. 
We have a few plants of Hevea guyanensis in the nursery, grown 
from seeds imported from Dutch Guj^ana. Please let me know if you want 
t some. I consider this species more of botanical, than of practical inte- 
rest, but it might be that you should like to add this species to your 
. * % 
botanical collections. 
I am, Sir, 
Faithfully yours,
