Owing to a few days illness last week 1 was 
K'l> 
unable to get Gown to Hast Greenwich A unti 1 yesterday. Mr. Stewart 
showed me about the estate.

It seer:a to me you have a sufficiently diversified tract to enable 
you to transplant almost any of the Mew try land wild plants with 
a reasonable .nospect of success-with the possible exception of 
those which require a limy soil, A few loads of linerode might 
enable you to grow even some of these latter successfully, 
I do not recall recently having seen another area of equal size 
which seems to combine all the conditions of pond, eat bog, swamp, 
brook side, hillside, woods , and open, in such an apparently favor¬ 
able way. 
I rathe rod from something that Mr. Stewart said that you wish to 
I 
combine some i add sea pc garden fea all wit! fhi.>ral idea 
of getting in wild plants. Ibis might mean getting in shrubs 
primarily. You evidently have mai)y wild things growing there already 
that ought to be kept. I suppose it would be a good plan to first 
learn exactly what you really have growing there. Perhaps you or 
Mr. Stewart already know. It would be very difficult for one un¬ 
familiar with the ground to make more than v. partial list at if is 
time of* the year.
