1930/01/13: E. L. Kammerer to Edwin D. Weary (3.93658)
Date: January 13 1930Creator: Kammerer, E. Lowell
Type: Document
Description:Says they were very interested to hear more about his tree that seems to be a cross between Ailanthus [Tree of Heaven] and Ash, and agrees with Arnold Arboretum's theory of how it came about. Identifies the requested ivy recommendation as Engelmann [Engelman] Creeper (Ampelopsis Quinquefolia Engelmannii) [Parthenocissus quinquefolia Englemannii].
Thanks him for sending them a sample of black Wurtzilite.
