shown that the land is well adapted to celer^^ ; and the gardeners 

 there are now beginning to plant it for themselves. 



Experiments in controling the San Jose scale have been 

 reported in two bulletins (Nos. 144, 155). Very careful 

 studies in the same direction are now progressing, along with 

 general tests of new insecticides and fungicides. 



For two seasons, extensive studies have been made of the 

 problems associated with pollination and self-sterility in orchards ; 

 and the results now await publication. 



Various problems associated with flowers and ornamental gar- 

 dening are still receiving attention. The leading subjects just 

 now are studies of the geranium, of which we have many 

 hundred varieties, and plants for screens. 



Respectfully submitted, 



L. H. Bailey.
