Description
Hough has several sets of dried plants to dispose of from a collection made during the summers of 1896 and 1897 in north-eastern Arizona, mostly at Holbrook. A few are from Tucson and vicinity in southern Arizona. In a few cases, generic names alone are given, 'in plants that are accounted difficult by almost all botanists'. The largest set has 140 sheets, the smallest 70. The price is eight cents per sheet, including transportation. Dr Rose, who was pleased with the plants and has taken a set for the National Herbarium, has indicated Thiselton-Dyer as a possible purchaser. If a set is desired, Hough would be pleased to send one. Annotated that the largest set was ordered. Page 1 of 1.
