Newest Varieties. 



There are many new varieties in the hands of the 

 leading seed firms which are likely to achieve notoriety ; 

 in fact, in limited quantities thc-y have already gone 

 far to establish their reputations, but at present it can 

 hardly be said that they are in general cultivation. 

 Under these circumstances they are purposely not 

 alluded to here individually. Descriptions of them 

 can be obtained in the catalogues of the firms intro- 

 ducing them.
