My dear Prof. Bessey,

I acknowledge with many thanks the receipt of your very excellent pamphlet on the Grasses and Forage Plants of Nebraska.

On pg 12 You speak of Andropogon Saccharoides, [SM]. I did not know that this species extended so far north. I would be very glad to have a specimen of this species from Your State. I have it from Colorado.

Yours very truly,

F. L. Scribner
