564 Report on Remarkable Esculent Vegetables 



succession of these, it is designed, shall be produced until 

 the whole are supplied ; but as, in the interval, additions, 

 further information, or perhaps corrections relating to the 

 subjects already treated on, may be obtained or required ; 

 or extraordinary novelties in the classes yet unpublished 

 may arise, on which information to the Members of the 

 Society may be desirable earlier than it would be communi- 

 cated, if the entire account was to be waited for; it has been 

 deemed expedient to prepare annually a Paper on such mis- 

 cellaneous subjects as the Kitchen Garden shall afford in 

 each season. The present is the first communication of this 

 nature. These Annual Reports may therefore be considered, 

 firstly, in the nature of supplements to the former mono- 

 graphs, and secondly, as affording some notices of matters 

 which will be introduced into future monographs. They will 

 also include notices of such individual subjects, or such small 

 classes of vegetable esculents, as are not of sufficient extent 

 to supply detached Reports, but respecting which there may 

 exist information sufficiently perfect to be given to the 

 public.
