From Soochow, China. Presented by Dr. W. H. Park, of the Soochow Hos-

 29, 1907. 



" Found on inquiry not to grow in this part of China, but in the northern 

 part of this province in the deep, loose soil of the Yellow River. Original seed 

 bought from a peddler and planted in the garden, and these seeds were collected 

 from two plants grown from them. On account of its great length of over a foot 

 or more it needs deep soil.- Yellow River carrot or Chinese Wonder suggested 

 as varietal names." (Park.) 



" There are several varieties of carrot which might come under this descrip- 

 tion, but probably those sent are what are known as Yellow Belgium in this 

 country. There is another called Long Lemon-Colored. I don't think any of 

 them are very desirable, at least here where a darker colored sort is preferred."
