It would be very desirable if we could know something of the 

 origin and history of these different varieties. However, in the 

 main it is impossible to learn anything of importance regarding 

 their origin. In the case of certain varieties we do know when 

 they were imported to this country, or occasionally how they 

 arose. 



On the following pages there is given a brief description of 

 the more important varieties which we have tested. In some 

 cases notes on the history of the variety will be included. The 

 descriptions of these varieties are based entirely upon our own 

 observations. The reader is reminded that strains of these 

 varieties coming from difterent sources or grown under dilter- 

 ent conditions are likely to vary somewhat from the characters 

 given here.
