1 All introductions consist of seeds unless otherwise noted. 



It should be understood that the varietal names of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other 

 plants used in these inventories are those which the material bore when received by the 

 Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction ; and further, that the printing of such 

 names here does not constitute their oflScial publication and adoption in this country. 

 As the different varieties are studied, their identity fully established, their entrance into 

 the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American litera- 

 ture becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in these inventories 

 will in many cases undoubtedly be changed by the specialists interested in the various 

 groups of plants and the forms of the names brought into harmony with recognized 

 American codes of nomenclature.
