Kenesaw, Nebraska, Feb. 26 1887 Prof. Bessey:- Dear Sir, If the enclosed clips Yours very truly, A. D. Williams. TUMBLE WEED.--A common Eastern weed, according to Prof. C. E. Bessey, is modified by climate on the Western plains and prairies into a compact plant, whose stout, curving branches give it an approximately spherical form, and which is called "tumble-weed" from the fact that when the stem is broken near the ground by the Autumn gales the upper part goes rolling and tumbling before the wind, often for miles. In the East the species Amarantus albus [italicized], is a straggling herb, remaining rooted long after its death at the close of the season. | 729EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE A. D. WILLIAMS. D.
