invited me to come back in summer, as he had several interest- 
ing things yet that were covered up now and I think it would 
almost pay me to make an extra trip to see him." 
SPECIAL NOTE . 
Mr. Frank N. Meyer, our Agricultural Explorer, has just 
returned from Siberia after spending nearly two and one half 
years of considerable hardship in the field. His explorations 
have taken him through a region which resembles our great 
Northwest and while the plants which he has found and in- 
troduced may not be quite as novel as those which he brought 
back from his Chinese expedition, there is quite a good chance 
that some of them will prove perfectly hardy in the Northern 
States and be of greater interest to experimenters there than 
plants from the milder region of China. 
It is expected that Mr. Meyer will be in this country for 
the season at least and will visit the collections of his 
plants which are now growing at various places. 
His seeds and plants are now being propagated at our 
Plant Introduction Gardens and will be available for experi- 
menters in the course of one or two years.
