might recover with care. Accordingly preparations were made for the dispatch of the frames to Japan.
Maries got ready for him and for Marie's plants, and three days afterwards he proceeded to the Garden with two cases of plants which he personally packed, transferring them to the forcing frame and others to a bed in the new garden, with instructions being laid down by him to the Gardener in charge as to their treatment during his absence.
M: Maries was to have notified me so that I might be present during the packing to see if any special treatment would be required during his absence, but he failed to inform me of his reluctance to go to the Garden and the next thing I heard was that he had left for Japan, and I have never seen him since.
The larger portion of the plants did recover, and having recovered, were removed into this Nursery and were flourishing eight months after, where I last saw them.
I do not remember any of the plants being of special value that I am aware of, as we already had specimens. I also mention that on Maries leaving, he left two Wardian cases in the store to remain till called for. One of these was sent to him in Japan at the request of his friend, the Revd M. Lamont.
