 The author has a short note on Polygonum sachalinense, in which he states that in his 

 nursery in France it bore seed, apparently for the first time, in 1893. The heat of 

 that year, he believes, accounts for the exceptional fact. He also received from the 

 islands in the sea of Okotsk a quantity of the seed in a perfect state of maturity. 

 He states that this plant may be propagated not only by the expensive method of 

 root cutting, but by the use of seed.
