REPORT OF STATE HORTICULTURIST. (>"] 



The latter work has been the most productive of results and 

 much greater good has been accompUshed in the orchard itself 

 than on the platform. Actual existing conditions are what in- 

 terests the grower, particularly his own, and if you can help 

 with his particular problems in a practicable way, you can create 

 greater interest in the work. 



The work of the Department has been shared about equally 

 between Mr. Yeaton and myself and I wish to acknowledge at 

 this time, the able assistance that he has given in the work. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 ALBERT K. GARDNER, State Horticulturist.
