sTANDARDizING VEGETABLES.

With q view to standardizing all the
commercial varieties of vegetables
grown in the United States, the de-
partment of agriculture through Its
bureau of plant industry announces
that any one having an unknown
variety of vegetable for which correct
identification is wanted may obtain
such information from TIE department.
The correct names of various kinds OF
fruits may also be obtained.
The Importance of naming varieties
correctly, 1t is stated, is not realized
until the general confusion which re-
suits to truck growers, fruit growers
and farmers from incorrect naming is
considered. In many cases one variety
of vegetable is sold under several
names. For instance of three hun"
dred varieties of cabbage listed. there
are really not more than ten varieties.
The same condition. the department
says. prevails throughout the vege-
table list. The department now has
on file a careful and complete discrip-
ton of all varieties Of vegetables and
fruits grown In this country.
