The Honorable Commissioner of AgricuUnre, Albany : 



Sir. — The prolific requests of correspondents and the suggestions 

 which come of experiment station investigation, are bound to result 

 in the accumulation of many pieces of work which are more or less 

 fragmentary and which are of insufficient length or importance for 

 separate publication. Some of the more valuable of such investi- 

 gations relating to the forcing-house industry, which have recently 

 accumulated, are here gathered and sorted into convenient form for 

 preservation ; and I take the liberty to suggest the j)ublication of 

 them as a bulletin under chapter 230, of the Laws of 1895. 



L. H. BAILEY.
