"The above are apparently various forms and varieties of our ordinary garden 

 aster, which is held in high esteem by the Chinese as a garden flower. There 

 are said to be yellow-flowered varieties among this collection, but in general 

 the seeds will be found to be very much mixed. 



"As the garden aster is a native of northern Asia there may be found some 

 types among this lot that may be of value for breeding purposes or for rather 

 uncongenial climates." {Meyer.)

"Apparently rare forms of millet grown by the Koreans for food. These few 

 seeds were picked by me, while passing a few fields near the upper regions of 

 the Tumen River and I never came across them again later on." (Meyer.) 



24113. Panicum sp. 



From northern Korea. "(No. 1171a, September, 1906.) A millet grown on 

 very low lying lands; used by the poor peasants, when ground up, as a gruel. 

 Try it on low river bottoms as a late fodder crop; it stools out enormously on 

 rich land . " ( Meyer.)
