your Excellency to two or three of them, whose direct utility will 

 be immediately perceived. Bulletin No. 38, which treats of plums 

 and cherries, is the most complete publication of its kind ever 

 issued, and has been of great use to nurserymen and fruit growers. 

 Bulletin No. 44 traces the life history of the pear tree psylla, 

 which has threatened to annihilate pear culture in this and many 

 other localities, and discovers practical /and certain remedies by 

 which an end may be put to its devastations. The pecuniary 

 value of this bulletin to the farmers of our State is simply 

 incalculable. 



I have the honor to be your obedient servant. 



J. G. SCHIJUMAN, 



President of Coriiell University.
