  "My 
  friend 
  who 
  procured 
  these 
  cuttings 
  advises 
  that 
  in 
  order 
  that 
  the 
  carob 
  

   trees 
  bear 
  every 
  year, 
  every 
  tree 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  grafted 
  with 
  a 
  branch 
  from 
  the 
  

   male 
  carob, 
  which 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  fecundate 
  the 
  flowers 
  and 
  thus 
  avoid 
  poor 
  

   years."

  Medic

  sp. 
  

  

  From 
  Baku, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  Received 
  through 
  Mr. 
  Frank 
  N. 
  Meyer, 
  agricul- 
  

   tural 
  explorer, 
  June 
  13, 
  1910. 
  

   "(No. 
  784, 
  May 
  26, 
  1910.) 
  A 
  perennial 
  medicago 
  of 
  creeping 
  habit; 
  it 
  has 
  small 
  

   racemes 
  of 
  blue 
  flowers 
  and 
  small, 
  scanty 
  leaves. 
  Grows 
  on 
  most 
  remarkably 
  dry 
  and 
  

   stony 
  places 
  and 
  remains 
  green 
  after 
  the 
  other 
  vegetation 
  has 
  turned 
  brown. 
  It 
  is 
  

   eagerly 
  browsed 
  by 
  sheep 
  and 
  goats. 
  As 
  the 
  climate 
  around 
  Baku 
  is 
  almost 
  arid, 
  

   this 
  medicago 
  may 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  valuable 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  driest 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  

   Southwest."
