VAKIETIES GROWN IN EUROPE. 33 



BUCKSHOT. 



No. 22322, obtained from Haage & Schmidt, is indistinguishable from the Buckshot 

 variety, S. P. I. No. 17251. It was received as "Early Black from Podolia," but is not 

 the same as the variety received under that name from another source. Seeds of this 

 variety were also mixed in the brown seed from the Botanical Garden of Bremen, 

 Germany, and grown as No. 25212 A. 



''yellow." 



This variety was received from Dammann & Co., No. 22414, and Vilmorin-Andrieux 

 & Co., No. 21754, the two being identical and different from any others yet received. 

 It is a small, early variety, maturing at Arlington in ninety days.a 



''brown." 



Seed under this name was obtained from Dammann & Co., No. 22413, Haage & 

 Schmidt, No. 22319, and Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., No. 21755. These seeds are indis- 

 tinguishable, but only No. 21755 grew. The original seed of this is much smaller than 

 Ogemaw, but in 1909 both the seeds and plants could not be distinguished from Oge- 

 maw from Michigan. No. 25212, from the Botanical Garden, Bremen, Germany, also 

 with brown seeds, was likewise indistinguishable from Ogemaw in 1909, though the 

 original seeds were different both from No. 21755 and from Ogemaw. 



BUTTERBALL. 



The variety secured from Dammann & Co., No. 22415, as "Giant Yellow," could 

 not be distinguished from S. P. I. No. 17274, Butterball. 



S. P. I. NO. 5039. 



This seed was received from Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co. as "Extra Early Black 

 Seeded." This is the original importation of the variety later named Wisconsin 

 Black, S. P. I. No. 25468, which is now commercially handled by a few seedsmen. 



There are no authentic records of a few of the earhest S. P. I. 

 importations from Europe, so that nothing definite can be said as to 

 their identity. Among these are No. 1492 (brown seeded), No. 

 1493 (black seeded), and No. 2156, Yellow Etampes, all from France. 



From these data it would appear that at the present time at least 

 ten varieties of soy beans are more. or less grown in Europe. Pre- 

 sumably there are included among these the four varieties grown by 

 Haberlandt, and it is therefore probable that his black variety was 

 Chernie, his brown-red variety the "Brown" of the European seeds- 

 men,, one of the yellows the Ito San or Etampes, and the other 

 probably the "Yellow" of Dammann & Co. and Vilmorin-Andrieux 

 & Co. All of these are quite small seeded and agree well with the 

 weights per thousand seeds as given by Haberlandt. 



a No. 17276, without name, from Havre, France, is a very similar but distinct 

 variety.
