part of the country. Many varieties arc 

 probably unintentionally renamed, and 

 much unnecessary experimentation and 

 comparison are carried on every year 

 with sorts which are thought to be dis- 

 tinct, but are really identical." 



Seedsmen will find a great deal of both 

 interest and value in the bulletin, which 

 is a volume of 160 pages, with twenty- 

 four plates illustrating side and ventral 

 view-s of ripe seeds of 112 varieties, cross 

 sections of thirty-six snap and green shell 

 pods, two views each of sixty-five varie- 

 ties and fifteen leaf types. Each of the 

 five species, into which garden beans 

 naturally divide, is taken up and the va- 

 rieties described, with a statement of the 

 number of seedsmen listing in 1906, a 

 comparison with similar sorts, synonyms, 

 history and reference to illustrations in 

 the bulletin. I]very word is of value as 

 confirming or extending a seedsman 's 

 knowledge of his business, and the vol- 

 ume evidences much painstaking work on 

 the part of the author. A catalogue of 

 all variety names in 1906 catalogues is 

 included, with a few words of descrip- 

 tion and history. Also there is an * * arti- 

 ficial key to varieties, ' ' arranged on the 

 dichotomous system, now largely adopted 

 by botanists, devised to enable the stu- 

 dent to determine the variety name of 

 any bean listed by American seedsmen. 



If any seedsman fails to receive a copy 

 of Bulletin No. 109 he should write to 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture for 

 one. It is wortli careful study and pres- 

 ervation in a handy place for reference. 



ERFURT SEED TRADE. 



Though we liave had, on the whole, 

 better weather since the middle of July, 

 we want still more sun and warmth for 

 the maturing of most of our seeds, both 

 in the vegetable and flowering lines. The 

 growers all hope for a long and dry au- 

 tumn, and some of them say, as the first 

 day of September was a dry and bright 

 day, we may well look forward to good 

 weather for the rest of this month. If 

 this he true, and September proves to be 

 a sunny and bright montli, things in the 

 seetl-growing business will change for 

 the better. August did much for crops, 

 although the sun did not show itself too 

 much and the nights were rather cool. 

 Nevertheless, a good many different

 The crop of cauliflower seeds will be

 cabbage, fairly good, in some places in- 

 ferior; brussels sprouts, broccoli or kale, 

 and kohlrabi, bad; carrots, fairly good, 

 but in some cases bad. Celery plants 

 wintered in the fields are bad, but the 

 ones wintered in pits will be good. 

 Savoy, bad ; beets, fairly good ; sugar
