Description
Weightman encloses a few pressed specimens of an Iris, which grows in great abundance on the hills between there and Kandahar. He is informed that it is somewhat rare. If this is the case, he would be delighted to send as many bulbs as his correspondent would like to have. Many varieties of Crocus and Tulips are abundant, the only one of the latter he does not remember having seen before is a dark red poppy with a black centre. Page contains a note initialled 'JGB' [John Gilbert Baker] stating the name Iris reticulata and giving a reference to the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE; the specimens were retained. Page 1 of 1.
