As v/as his usual custom, Mr. Meyer included, in his letter of 
January 6, 1917 » suggestions regarding the disposition of 
some of the above material. He wrote: 
Some ntimbers are quite valuable, like 
1?63, scions of wild Pyrus ussuriensis . I 
suggest to put them in the hands of very 
capable people only. Many of the pears in 
this shipment may be of very great future 
promise and I advise to supply Prof. Reimer 
with a good quantity of every one. He will 
be especially interested in the ussuriensis 
group. I have not attempted to give them 
Mr. Rehder's neve names, for I do not think 
that he has had enough of material to work 
with to be certain whether a thing is a 
distinct species or merely a form. 
The jujubes, Ho. ?330a, may be sown out 
in Chico and In localities in Texas to obtain 
new types. The beans, peas, fibre and oil 
seeds will no doubt go to various specialists. . 
Mr. Dev/ey v;anted especially a strong Abutilon 
hemp. I hope that No. 2335a fills the bill; 
I'll also send a sample of the fiber shortly. 
No. 2351. Juglans mandehurica , might be 
tested in Rocky Mountain localities as a shade 
tree. 
The numbers 2354a and 2355a are of special 
value as they may be immune cultivated varieties 
December 31, 1917.
