: Only one of the millets appeared of any value for this climate. 
This (row 29) was received from Foochau, China. The stalks were 
about three and eight-tenths feet high and four-tenths inch in diam- 
eter, and but one from each root. The stalks and leaves were rough, 
hard and dry. The drooping seed head, about twelve inches long 
and one and one-fourth inches in diameter, gave a good crop of 
small, yellow seed, the kernels being about one-sixteenth inch 
in diameter, ripe about October 1. This variety will be tried in 
- the field another season. The other millet from Foochau had 
_ very large bunches of small stalks from each root, but did not 
approach maturity. 
The “Guinea corn” from Sierra Leone had very many leafy 
stalks from each root, which were about four and four-tenths 
' feet high when killed by frost, and at that time showed no signs 
of maturity. —
