N B Names followed by see, such as Adams Stringless, refer to 

 strains or stocks not available or to those which remained 

 unplaced either as synonyms or as separate varieties. Names 

 in Roman type, such as Abundance, are described in the text. 

 Page numbers in bold face refer to pages opposite plate illus- 

 trating the variety. Certain variety names occurring only 

 on the illustrations represent types photographed before the 

 present writers became associated with the work. Because 

 of the difficulty in obtaining seed for further trial or the 

 uncertainty in the application of the names these are not 

 treated in the text.
