SOME SELECTIONS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES 



The following selections have been made as repre- 

 senting the best varieties of the present to grow for 

 the purposes indicated. It should be borne in mind,

 acquisition of new varieties might create the necessity 

 for a considerable revision a year or two hence, and 

 almost the entire selection may become obsolete within 

 a decade. The one substantial ground of desirability, 

 however, is found in the interest that may accrue from 

 these selections in the future, when they will serve as 

 a record of what was considered most meritorious at 

 the time of their compilation.
