Dear Mr. Ames: 
A short time ago I received from Wilson Popenoe 
(12 Oalle Oriente No. 1, Guatemala City) a request for a good 
book upon orchid culture. He is getting together some of the 
native orchids and wishes to grow them at the experiment statio 
near Guatemala City. If you can suggest a useful book, I know 
he will appreciate the favor. There is no reason why he should 
not make up some specimens and send them to you, for he wants 
names for his plants. I have suggested he get Costatin’s 
Atlas, but it will not be of use beyond the genera. 
Lately we have been receiving a large series of plants 
from Campeche, the first collection of any extent ever made 
there. It contains more orchids than I had expected. There are 
duplicates of most of them, and we shall send you on a set of 
them, as soon as all the specimens arrive.
