LETTUCE. 
Of lettuce seventy samples bearing names not before re- 
ceived at the Station were grown and also several of stand- 
ard varieties tested in previous years, for comparison of 
these. As appears from the table, most of our lettuces 
came from Germany and Italy, and from the number of 
synonyms among these, it is very evident that the condition 
of lettuce nomenclature in those countries is no better 
than in our own. It is surprising that of the sixty lettuces 
received from Germany and Italy, bearing names not before 
tested at the Station, all but ten were referred with con- 
siderable certainty to varieties which have already been 
grown and described at the Station, or else were Synonyms 
of one of these ten. The data noted appear in the follow- 
ing table. In order to economize space, the synoyms are 
appended in the broad column at the right, in which the 
numbers refer to the numbers of the varieties in the de- 
scribed list as published in the Station report for 1885, 
pp. 141-173.
