The work of compiling descriptions and arranging catalogue has 

 been under consideration for several years, and yet owing to the 

 last season being unfavorable for many varieties, the difficulty of 

 securing specimens for examination, and having to trust to mem- 

 ory, we expect our report will contain some errors and come very 

 far short of perfection, but the errors may be corrected and the 

 descriptions improved upon in the future.
