From Fiirstenalps, near Khur, Switzerland. Presented by Dr. F. G. Stebler,

A collection of hardy grass and forage plant seeds raised in Doctor Stebler's alpine 

 gar-len in the Fiirstenalps, near Khur, at an altitude of 5, 700 feet. ' ' These are all hardy 

 strains which have been raised for some years in thi.s garden and thoroughly accli- 

 mated to a short, cold growing season. That these forms are extremely hardy 

 has been frequently proved by planting commercial seed of the same kind in these 

 gardens, where it is invariably killed out for the most part during the first season."
