NEW SEED 
The listings below supplement those in the 
General Seed Offer. They are kinds that came 
in from distant botanical collectors after the 
main part of the catalog had been made up; or in 
some instances they are species of my own sav¬ 
ing that appeared to be insufficient when the 
rough stocks on the drying racks were checked 
over, but that actually cleaned up in large 
enough supply to offer. There are some mighty 
fine things here.
