2 PLANT INVENTORY NO. 133 



Walter Koelz. His instructions were essentially for the collection of 

 materials in the field of vegetables, continuing the long program of 

 obtaining essential breeding materials for this Bureau's Division of 

 Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases and its specialized programs, 

 not only for the Southeastern States but for its specialists elsewhere. 



With his customary thoroughness, Dr. Koelz has sent in not only 

 vegetables but also unusual fruits and high-altitude cereals, which, 

 because of their hardiness under difficult conditions, have been wel- 

 comed by Department specialists. 



This inventory has been prepared under the supervision of Paul 

 Russell, who has checked or identified the incoming seed materials and 

 has verified the botanical nomenclature and descriptive notes.
