FOREWORD 



everything possible to give information on varieties 

 tested by them. 



So many persons, both amateur and professional, 

 have rendered great help by their courtesy and rec- 

 ords that it would take too much space to mention 

 all, but chief among these was Dr. Robert Huey, 

 Philadelphia; Jesse A. Currey, Portland, Oregon; 

 Herbert L. Wettem, England; Admiral Aaron Ward, 

 Roslyn, Long Island; W. C. Egan, Highland Park, 

 Illinois; J. Horace McFarland, Harrisburg; and J. N. 

 Richardson, Baltimore.
