My dear Sir/
Did you ever get the piebald potato?1 I greatly fear you did not— I have another wh. I should like to send you though the colors have faded—and also a spray of Holly for a full account of wh. see the Chronicle of Saturday (tomorrow) (under Science Committee Hort. Soc.) and also a statement of Revd. F W Radclyffe as to grafting potatoes in Home Corresp— I have written to him for further information—2
Mr Fish who sends the Holly also sends some fasciated branches of Sycamore for your inspection but they are in no wise different from the ordinary fasciated branches.
What is the best means of sending small parcels to you
faithfully yrs | Maxwell. T. Masters
Chas. Darwin Esq
