The information on these labels consists of the Plant Introduction number, under which the plants are known at all times, of the scientific name and a common name, when one has been adopted for this country, and a brief descrip- tion of the plant with its uses and where possible at this time a suggestion of the general region to which the plant is likely to be adapted. In some instances but few plants of the number given on the label may be available for distribution but, in such cases plants of the same species and variety under another introduction number will be substituted whenever this is deemed advisable. Requests for material for trial should be made prompt- ly, and with both name and number correctly and legibly given. If the applicant is not already on our list of corre- spondents, full information as to his or her facilities for properly caring for and experimenting with the plants re- quested should be supplied. ; The labels are made of celluloid, covered on both Sides with fine linen and if kept from contact with the s0il they will remain in good condition for several years. If buried in the soil they become brittle. ~ IN SS N S 27610. ABELMOSGHUS ES- CULENTUS. Okra. Fromiir. Frank N. Meyer, Erivan, Caucasus, Russia.
