But the material received is a reminder that the Southern Hemisphere is just as busy harvesting crops. Two collections of Tasmanian and Australian plants obtained by Mrs. Frieda Cobb Blanchard (Nos. 76701 to 76724, 76931 to 76967) will be of interest to plant growers in the Southwestern States, as will the collection from New Zealand (Nos. 77173 to 77214). Thirty varieties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum, Nos. 76968 to 76997) from New South Wales, Australia, will be of interest to cerealists, and a collection, mostly succulents (Nos. 77217 to 77252) from Kirsten- bosch, Cape Province, Africa, will add to the possibilities for rock gardens in the warmer parts of the country. Eight kinds of grasses from Argentina (Nos. 76878 to 76885), of possible value as forage crops, increase the receipts from the antipodes. In line with the policy of adding to the ornamental plants already in cultivation in this country, new or little known species and varieties of Abelia, Berberis, Buxus, Deutzia, Lonicera, Syringa, and other genera have been obtained from Hon.
