HENRY A. DREER, Inc., 714 Chestnut Street, PHILADELPHIA 



stems with numerous whorled linear leaves. It 

 prefers sandy or stony soil, upon which It Is often 

 planted as a green manure and as a soiling crop 

 for sheep and cattle. • • • Giant spurry 

 (Spergula maxima), by many botanists not re- 

 garded as a species distinct from the above, is 

 similar to but larger than common spurry. 



"The only question before us is 

 whether the seed in question here is a 

 grass seed. "We had occasion to go into 

 this matter in G. A. 6350 (T. t>. 27306) 

 in connection with an importation of 

 vetch seed. Without repeating what 

 we said there, the conclusions there 

 reached we think are sound, and that 

 case, with G. A. 6428 (supra), governs 

 the case at bar. We find, therefore, 

 that the seed here in question is a 

 grass seed within the meaning of para- 

 graph 668 of the law of 1909." 



COB.SA SCANDENS. 



I would like to know the proper time 

 to plant Cobaea scandens seed so as to 

 have good sized plants for planting-out 

 time. What temperature should they be 

 kept in to do best? G. H. P. 



Sow the seed early in March in an 

 ordinary greenhouse where a night tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees is maintained. 

 The seeds will soon germinate and must 

 be potted off singly before they become 

 crowded. In order to have extra strong 

 plants, give them a shift into 4-inch or 

 5-inch pots after they are well estab- 

 lished in small ones. Use a stake on 

 each plant to tie the shoots to, or they 

 will soon become entangled. C. W.
