INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The present Inventory, no. 114, records plant material received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from January 1 to March 31, 1933 (nos. 101585-102377). Among the important projects included in the program of this Division is the introduction of the deciduous fruit varieties now grown commercially in various parts of the world. As a step in the fulfillment of this program, several shipments of this type of material were received during the period covered by this inventory. Especially noteworthy are two lots of plants and scions from Morocco (101806-101875. 102002-102062) ; these include indigenous varieties of figs, olives, apricots, almonds, and grapes, all of which are destined for trial in the subtropical areas of our West and Southwest, where these fruits already form the basis of important industries. In considering the needs of the colder fruit-growing areas, mention should be made of four lots of scions of apples and sour cherries from the Scandinavian countries (nos. 101881-101890, 102126-102153, and 102164-102180), and one lot of apple scions from Poland (102369-102372). A large number of these are local varieties that represent many years' work in careful selection. From eastern China, where the peach has been grown since the dawn of civilization, there is recorded a lot of 27 scions of peach varieties (101663-101689) collected in small towns and villages where, in many instanced, a particular fruit variety ig known only in a very limited area. The nut-growing industry in the United States will be aided, eventually, by the introduction of three lots of filberts (101706- 66902—34 1 2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED 101711,101891-101902, and 102121-102125) from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and by 13 types of walnuts (102084-102096) from the same country. Attention should also be called to the introduction of a collection of scions of what are said to be unusually cold-resistant varieties of the Spanish chestnut from Czechoslovakia (10l6l(>-iC)i6i7). For the ultimate benefit of nut growers, but more immediately for use in chestnut-blight investigations, there are recorded four lots of seed of different species of Castanea (101587- 101607, 101690-101692, 101982-101991, and 102106-102111) received from northeastern China. Most of these are C. mollissim®, the Chi- nese hairy chestnut, whose natural resistance to chestnut blight has led to its wide use in hybridizing experiments. Plants suitable for growing in the colder and drier areas of the western United States are constantly being sought by this division. It is of interest, therefore, to note two shipments of plant material received during this period from Manchuria. One of these, a collection of hardy forage grasses (101645-101660) from the prairie country near Harbin, Manchuria, introduced for Department specialists, should prove of definite value for the colder areas of our stock-rais- ing States. Another lot of plant material (102289-102309), received also from Manchuria but including hardy trees and shrubs native to many different parts of northeastern Asia, such as maples and hollies irojiQi Gho§eii and nprthiern, Japan, will prove interesting additions tethe^l^ In the 'field of ornamentals, there are two large collections that deserve special mention. These come from England and Scotland, respectively (101736-101797 and 101923-101962)7 and consist largely of alpine perennials, including numerous species of such genera as Anthemis, AqvMegia, and Dianthus. These are all intended for testing at the plant introduction gardens of this Division. The botanical determinations were made and the nomenclature determined by the late H. C. Skeels,1 who had general supervision of this inventory. B. Y. MORRISON, Principal Horticulturist, in Charge. DIVISION OF PLANT EXPLORATION ANP INTRODUCTION, .,.

8 It should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when Introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature, becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into har- mony with recognized horticultural nomenclature. It is a well-known fact that botanical, .descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention thfc Seeds at all and rarely describe them >>in such a way as. to make possible identification from* the/ seeds alone,,.uSfaifir of tK#unustfal plants listed in these inven- tories are appearing in 'this country-'for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe" seedsvwith which the new arrivals may be compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received front this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.
