Summary:
Believes Smith is determined not to see Boyton House. Has successfully raised many new plants to flower this year but lost 'Bartonia', [Thomas] Nuttall's [(1786-1859)] "white and yellow 'Oenothera'" which have failed elsewhere are hardy in his garden. Has stayed with Marquess of Blandford [George Spencer-Churchill] at Whiteknights, [Reading, Berkshire], "never saw the vegetable kingdom brought to such perfection". Returned with a Mexican 'Verbena'. Blandford acquired [Christian Gottfried] Nestler's "Monographia de Potentilla ". Enquires after Smith's publications.
