NEW PLANT IMMIGRANTS. 
ANONA SQUAMOSA. 24172. From Antigua, British West Indie* 
Nov. 9. A purple variety. 
BENZOIN SP. (?) 24132. From Mokanshan, China, Nov. 4.

are covered thick with beautiful, very bright red ber- 
ries J a bush here and there among the green shrubbery 
around a lawn would be pretty. " tFarnham. ) 
CITRUS. 24196. "Haartje." From Warm Baths, Transvaal, 
South Africa, Nov. 30, Groenskil. This variety bears 
more resemblance to the Emperor mandarin perhaps than 
to most others. It hangs for a long time on the trees 
in good condition and is the latest ripening variety 
we have. It is also more hardy than the Platskill.

Oct. 16, A small tree with horizontal branohesj 
leaves leathery, shining. Fruit aubspherioal, the 
size of a small orange, bright red; seeds enclosed 
in a white, juioy, very aoid aril. 
NICOTIANA TOMENTOSA, 23914. From Erfurt, Germany, Oct. 
26. A very large epeoies with large leaves and tall 
stem. At present mainly of scientific interest, but 
on aocount of its leaf size would probably be valu- 
able as a parent for a composite cross in regions 
where the yield of tobacco is the main consideration. 
ORYZA SATIVA. 24193. From Chevy Chase, Md. Grown by 
Mr. Fairchild on his place "In the Woods." Reo, Nov. 
23. "Planted June 5 it matured a crop of ripe grain. 
It received no irrigation whatever. One plant had 1? 
heads on it and tho not as tall as irrigated rioe, it 
looks like a promising thing to me." 
PUMPKIN. 24204. From Ragaa, Bhar el Ghagel, Sudani Af-
