466 REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF HORTICULTURE, 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



Before closing- this report we beg to acknowledge the many favors granted, 

 and the assistance given, this board by others in carrying on its work. We 

 realize that it would have been impossible to do the work that has been done 

 without the hearty co-operation of others. Those to whom we are especially 

 indebted for assistance, and to whom we wish our appreciation of their 

 valuable aid are : Quarantine Officer Alexander Craw, of San Francisco, the 

 Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, and experiment stations 

 of the United States. To all local papers and the press throughout the state 

 is due a great deal of praise for the earnestness with which they have 

 assisted us in horticultural education, in placing before the public, in a true 

 light, the results of our efforts in behalf of the fruit interests of the state, 

 and to Henry E, Dosch, for editing and compiling this our report. 



E. L. SMITH, 

 President.
