Report of the Horticulturist. 



To the Director of tlie Cornell University Agricultural Experiment 

 Station: 



Sir. — The work of tbe horticultural division during the year 

 1895 has been chiefly concerned with the investigation and teach- 

 ing requested of the station by the so-called Experiment Station 

 Extension or Nixon bill. The investigational work under the 

 auspices of this statute has been of two general types — that made 

 at the home station, and that which was undertaken in the fruit 

 plantations of the western part of the State. Of the former type, 

 we have published results in bulletins as follows, during the year: 



87. The Dwarf Lima Beans. 



90. The China Asters; with Remarks upon Flower Beds. 



91. Chrysanthemums. 



95. Winter Muskmelons. 



96. Forcing-house Miscellanies. 



The work of the latter class — that done partly or chiefly on the 

 plantations of farmers — has given more profuse results in publi- 

 cation. I have been fortunate to have secured the co-operation 

 of my colleagues in this work, and part of the bulletins which have 

 appeared in fulfillment of the law have been written by persons 

 outside my division. Those bulletins which were prepared by 

 writers under the direct supervision of the horticultural division 

 are as follows:
