CD’s great interest in JS’s work on fertility of Primula crosses.

To John Scott 25 [July 1863]
Summary
Encourages JS to continue work on coloured primrose. No one has noticed this since Gärtner. CD will send his own data for JS’s use and will read MS when ready. Advises JS to repeat experiments if evidence is weak – for his reputation’s sake and for satisfaction at fully establishing a fact.
Treviranus made a slip of pen in writing of Primula longiflora as short-styled.
