  [integrifolia]. 
  

  

  The 
  earliest 
  spelling, 
  1776, 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  is 
  Integra 
  as 
  given 
  above, 
  

   the 
  change 
  to 
  integrifolia 
  having 
  been 
  made 
  by 
  Linnaeus 
  f. 
  in 
  1781. 
  

  

  Distribution. 
  — 
  Cultivated 
  throughout 
  the 
  warmer 
  parts 
  of 
  India 
  and 
  eastern 
  

   Asia; 
  probably 
  native 
  in 
  the 
  forests 
  of 
  the 
  Western 
  Ghats 
  in 
  India. 
  

  

  27172 
  to 
  27193. 
  

  

  From 
  Russia. 
  Received 
  through 
  Mr. 
  Frank 
  N. 
  Meyer, 
  agricultural 
  explorer, 
  

   March

  1910. 
  

   Seeds 
  of 
  the 
  following: 
  

  

  27172. 
  Olea 
  europaea 
  L. 
  Olive. 
  

   From 
  Nikita, 
  Crimea, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  1236a, 
  January 
  24, 
  1910.) 
  Collected 
  

  

  from 
  trees 
  that 
  have 
  successfully 
  withstood 
  freezes 
  of 
  15° 
  Reaumur 
  below 
  zero 
  

   (about— 
  2°

  To 
  be 
  tested 
  in 
  the 
  regions 
  recommended 
  for 
  Nos. 
  388 
  to 
  398 
  

   (S.

  27173. 
  Olea 
  europaea 
  L. 
  Olive. 
  

   From 
  near 
  Gagri, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  1237a, 
  January 
  31, 
  1910.) 
  Col- 
  

   lected 
  from 
  wild 
  growing 
  trees 
  which 
  occur 
  quite 
  plentifully 
  on 
  dry 
  mountain 
  

   slopes 
  and 
  on 
  cliffs 
  along 
  the 
  Caucasian 
  shore 
  of 
  the 
  Black 
  Sea; 
  they 
  might 
  have 
  

   escaped 
  from 
  cultivation 
  in 
  the 
  far 
  past, 
  as 
  formerly 
  this 
  region 
  was 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  

   a 
  great 
  civilization. 
  These 
  wild 
  olive 
  trees 
  are 
  very 
  bushy 
  and 
  apparently 
  

   very 
  drought 
  resistant 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  used 
  in 
  similar 
  regions 
  as 
  recommended 
  for 
  

   Nos. 
  388 
  to 
  389 
  (S. 
  P. 
  I. 
  Nos. 
  26801 
  to 
  26811)."

  27174. 
  Nicotiana 
  tabacum 
  L. 
  Tobacco. 
  

   From 
  near 
  Sukhum-Kale, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  1238a, 
  February 
  12, 
  

  

  1910.) 
  ' 
  Trebizond.' 
  A 
  very 
  good 
  variety 
  of 
  Turkish 
  cigarette 
  tobacco, 
  pro- 
  

   ducing 
  medium-sized, 
  long, 
  oblong 
  leaves, 
  which 
  assume 
  a 
  beautiful 
  light- 
  

   amber 
  color 
  when 
  properly 
  cured. 
  This 
  tobacco 
  is 
  grown 
  in 
  great 
  quantities 
  in 
  

   this 
  region 
  and 
  much 
  exported. 
  It 
  is 
  planted 
  rather 
  late 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  and 
  

   needs 
  a 
  somewhat 
  gravelly, 
  warm 
  soil 
  to 
  succeed 
  well. 
  Will 
  probably 
  be 
  

   adapted 
  to 
  certain 
  sections 
  of 
  northern 
  Florida 
  and 
  southern 
  Georgia.

  Nicotiana 
  tabacum 
  L. 
  Tobacco. 
  

   From 
  near 
  Sukhum-Kale, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  1239a,

  'Samsun.' 
  A 
  good 
  variety 
  of 
  Turkish 
  cigarette 
  tobacco, 
  producing 
  

   many 
  rather 
  small 
  leaves 
  (6 
  to 
  8 
  inches 
  long) 
  of 
  pointed, 
  oblong 
  shape, 
  which, 
  

   when 
  cured 
  well, 
  have 
  a 
  medium-dark 
  chocolate-brown 
  color. 
  Grown 
  and 
  

   exported 
  like 
  the 
  preceding 
  variety 
  in 
  great 
  quantities, 
  although 
  it 
  is 
  considered 
  

   locally 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  as 
  fine 
  a 
  product 
  as 
  the 
  ' 
  Trebizond.' 
  Likes 
  a 
  warm 
  soil, 
  rich 
  

   in 
  vegetable 
  matter, 
  and 
  stands 
  the 
  sea 
  air 
  quite 
  well, 
  as 
  some 
  plantations 
  are 
  

   situated 
  almost 
  on 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  Black 
  Sea."

  27176. 
  Nicotiana 
  tabacum 
  L. 
  Tobacco. 
  

   From 
  Cherg, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  1240a, 
  February 
  7, 
  1910.) 
  A 
  form 
  of 
  

  

  Turkish 
  cigarette 
  tobacco, 
  apparently 
  between 
  'Trebizond' 
  and 
  'Samsun.' 
  

   Much 
  planted 
  on 
  burned-over 
  forest 
  land, 
  somewhat 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  sea- 
  

   coast.
