I am sorry that I have no more material for studying this inter- 
esting class. In general, each variety is determined from quite a 
number of collections from different sources, and includes many not 
as yet recognized by seedsmen. If errors occur, it is from the selec- 
tions sent me by the seedsmen, and supposed, to represent the crop. 
It must be remembered however, that the seed is little improved, 
and scarcely any that will yield a crop of unmixed type, but the ma- 
jority of the ears, itisto be supposed, will answer to the description, ~ 
and the variety once recognized, it can be carefully selected for seed, 
and thus year by year the variety will become purified.
