Proof Sheets of Descriptive Labels 
which will be attached to 
Foreign Plant Introductions 
Distributed during 1912-1913. 
wo —_— 
The following pages are made up from the electrotypes 
used in the preparation of the labels distributed with all 
plants from the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduc- 
tion. 
The information on these labels consists of the Plant 
Introduction number, under which the plants are known at 
all times, of the scientific name and a common name, when 
one has been adopted for this country, and a brief descrip- 
tion of the plant with its uses and where possible at this 
time a suggestion of the general region to which the plant 
is likely to be adapted. 
In some instances but few plants of the number given 
on the label may be available for distribution but, in such 
cases plants of the same species and variety under another 
introduction number will be substituted whenever this is 
deemed advisable. 
Requests for material for trial should be made prompt- 
ly, and with both name and number correctly and legibly 
given. 
If the applicant is not already on our list of corre- 
spondents, full information as to his or her facilities for 
properly caring for and experimenting with the plants re- 
quested should be supplied. ; 
The labels are made of celluloid, covered on both 
Sides with fine linen and if kept from contact with the 
s0il they will remain in good condition for several years. 
If buried in the soil they become brittle.
