Invited me to come back in summer, as he had several interest- 

 ing things yet that were covered up now and I think it would 

 almost pay me to make an extra trip to see him." 



SPECIAL NOTE. 



Mr. Frank N. Meyer, our Agricultural Explorer, has just 

 returned from Siberia after spending nearly two and one half 

 years of considerable hardship in the field. His explorations 

 have taken him through a region which resembles our great 

 Northwest and while the plants which he has found and in- 

 troduced may not be quite as novel as those which he brought 

 back from his Chinese expedition, there is quite a good chance 

 that some of them will prove perfectly hardy in the Northern 

 States and be of greater interest to experimenters there than 

 plants from the milder region of China. 



It is expected that Mr. Meyer will be in this country for 

 the season at least and will visit the collections of his 

 plants which are now growing at various places. 



His seeds and plants are now being propagated at our 

 Plant Introduction Gardens and will be available for experi- 

 menters in the course of one or two years.
