Notes: Opuscular source: Royal Botanic Society of London May 18th 1920, to J H Holland, Museum Kew, Dear Sir, Reading your account of Glycine soya in the Kew Bulletin 1919 and being the grower and exhibitor of the plants shown at the Food Economy Exhibition at, the Institute of Hygiene in 1918, it occurred to me that you might care to have for the museum plants of my variety as grown here. I have two plants of last year left showing pods and also with nodules on the roots and should be pleasure to bring them on, e day next week on hearing from you. I have tested many varieties but found none equal to it. The U.S. Dept. of Agric to whom, at their request, I sent seeds described it as a very prolific variety not a pure form but one from which still better forms mig, ht be obtained by selection. They believed it came originally from Harbin. Yours faithfully J h North. Accepted & asked to call as suggested. Plants recd. 02/06/1920. J.H.H.
