  Samara. 
  "This 
  lucern 
  seed 
  has 
  been 
  grown 
  in 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  coldest 
  Govern- 
  

   ments 
  in 
  Russia, 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  recognized 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  hardiest 
  strain 
  ever 
  offered. 
  

   No 
  other 
  lucern 
  seed 
  will 
  compare 
  with 
  it, 
  as 
  it 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  cold 
  Samara 
  

   Government, 
  near 
  the 
  Ural."

  Andropogon

  (L.) 
  Brot. 
  Sorgo. 
  

  

  From 
  Chekiang 
  Province, 
  China. 
  Secured 
  by 
  Rev. 
  James 
  Ware, 
  of 
  the 
  Foreign 
  

   Christian 
  Missionary 
  Society, 
  Shanghai, 
  China 
  ? 
  and 
  forwarded 
  through 
  Mr. 
  

   Amos 
  P. 
  Wilder, 
  American 
  consul 
  general. 
  Received 
  May 
  20, 
  1910. 
  

   "This 
  sorgo 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  grow 
  very 
  high. 
  It 
  is 
  sown 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  

   May." 
  {Ware.) 
  

  

  "This 
  is 
  a 
  sorgo 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  No. 
  28024 
  from 
  Tsungming 
  Island. 
  The 
  spikelets 
  

   are 
  heavier 
  and 
  the 
  seeds 
  much 
  larger, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  due, 
  however, 
  to 
  difference 
  in 
  

   cultivation. 
  All 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  Tsungming 
  Island 
  are 
  poorly 
  developed, 
  the 
  

   percentage 
  of 
  fertile 
  seed 
  being 
  small."

  This 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  numbers 
  of 
  

   Medicagos 
  and 
  Trifoliums 
  should 
  be 
  valuable
