Melbourne bot Garden
19/3/69
As it may be still some time, dear Sir William, before the catalogue of my Garden plants can be printed,
1
A catalogue was ready for printing with B69.07.03 but was never published. The MS is transcribed as 'Garden-Catalogue 1868' in the 'manuscripts' section of this website.
.
I thought it but right early at the planting season to offer you the following plants preliminarily, as I have some to spare of each kind, and will gladly send them in reciprocation for the generous gifts which my Department received from you
— longifolia
— excelsa
— insignis
— cinerea
— oliviformis
— Castanea.
There are many other plants which I could offer from my nurseries, and if I had some general indications of your requirements, I could easily effect the selection.
With best regards dear Sir William,
your
Ferd. von Mueller.
