My dear Dr Ames: 
I am further indebted to you for copy of Grays Botany 
and the marked plates. The plates gave me some information desired. 
If you have a drawing of a Gongora will you kindly mark the names on 
the drawing of the several parts and send me, I have v ainly tried to 
make them out from printed descriptions but in vain., I have in the 
garden '8 distinct varieties of this plant. Some of the parts I know. 
On December 6th I sent you by registered mail a 
package of specimens and I have another lot all ready to go, but am 
waiting to hear from you regarding the possible action of the Dep ? t 
of Agriculture. The'lot sent on 6th were in the nature of a test. 
I am returning you herewith the list, which you 
can retain as a check list. I have not yet had another list from Dr 
Schlechter- as soon as it arrives I will send you a copy. 
I will gladly send you any flowers you may wish
