I agree: the wording clearly implies that the tree had been sent every year from 1918 onwards.

There are so many examples of this sort of thing, perhaps trivial in themselves, that they, plus all the stuff about Barss because that was his real interest, plus the wholesale use of the research done and written up by Janet Kitz, all add up to a very bad book that purports to be history.

You are quite right gmw - we certainly should have read the Kitz instead.
