Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly August 2021. Transcription: Graham’s Town. May 1st 1864. [No salutation.] As I intend returning to England by the Mail Steamer which will leave Table Bay on the 20th June, I shall be much obliged to you, Walter, if you will plant the Ferns you have for me in a Wardian Case ready for their journey. I think they had better be put into the Wardian Case at once so that they may have taken good root before the time comes for closing the case. The case need not be closed till after I come down to Cape Town I expect to be there about the 13th or 14th of June. The last batch of Ferns I sent home were planted in rows, with thin boards laid along the top between the rows to keep the soil unmoved; and they reached home in very good order. I also want to take the Disa plants home with me. I am told that if they have died down, the bulbs had better be packed in dry sand; but if they have not died down, &* are still in leaf, they had better be planted in the case with the Ferns. If you have not got Wardian Case, which you can let me have, please ask Col. Travers to get one from Mr McGibbon at the Botanical Garden. Keep an account of any expenses you may incur, and I will repay you when I come down to Cape Town. I shall also be very much obliged if you could send me here some good Disa plants for the Botanical Gardens in this town, where they are very much wanted. They had better be packed in moss or dry sand, & put into a tin box, and then sent up by the post cart. If you should not be able to do this, or have any difficulties with respect to the Ferns, please write to let me know at once. Yours faithfully, Edmund R Wodehouse. Envelope addressed to: Mr Walter Jardine The Vineyard Claremont Cape Town. Pencilled note on envelope: Son of the Governor, Sir P Wodehouse.

He was in Grahamstown by then."] Dear Sir I beg to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of the 16th of April and feel really pleased with its contents. I received the Zania in good conditioned and a couple are already starting a good growth. I shall be happy to receive the others plants you mention the probable invoice of, and beg you will receive my best thanks for the trouble. You would very much oblige me, my Dear Sir, by kindly sending a list of some good plants for us which can be had from the Cape or near it, or from any other place you know the means to get at. For instance I should be glad if you could procure me or tell me the way how to get palm seeds from the Seychelles and Mauritius Islands , or any other tropical islands where fine palms are growing. Encephalartos villosus and gracilis, the latter with thread-like linear leaves, are both useful species to me. Can some be had at the gardens? In fact any information will be most thankfully received. Awaiting your earliest kind news. I remain, Dear Sir, / Yours most obediently, pp A Van Geert. / Auguste Van Geert, junior.

Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly July 2021. Transcription: Royal Gardens, Sept 24/68 My dear Sir I have the pleasure of announcing the arrival of the Wardian case with the Euphorbia and Viscum per steamer ‘Norseman’. The? Viscum was unfortunately quite dead and rotted away though the Euphorbia was, and is still, alive. I suppose the closeness of the case did not agree with it for there was no fault to find with the packing. The Ficus is alive and a fine thing which is very welcome. The mesembryanthemums though not new are always useful. The Satyrium had rotted away. The continued damp being probably too much for them. We are preparing to fill the case with [?] Conifers and return it of which due notice shall be given. Very faithfully yours J. D Hooker.

Please try and send me a nice lot of it. Awaiting your further obliging favours, I remain Sir Yours obediently, A Van Geert.
