for fniit growing reinaiued for the vegetable work and a few new 

 students came es})ecially for it, but another year it is planned to make 

 the fruit course eight weeks and include the work in vegetables as the 

 demantl may seem to indicate. 



The "Fruit Show" was held this year as in the past four years in 

 Januaiw. It has outgrown any space in the Horticultural Laboratoiy 

 and this year, through the courtesy of Dean Shaw, one-half of the pa- 

 vilion of the Agricultural liuihling was used. This show has always 

 been arranged and managed by horticultural students and each year 

 seems to be more com])]ote and interesting. 



Horticultural moelings and Farmers' Institutes have been attended by 

 members of the department to the usual number. Extensive exhibits 

 of objects of horticultural interest were shown at the Michigan State 

 Fair at Detroit, the West Michigan State Fair at Orand Rapids and 

 the Second Land and Ap])le Show at (Irand Rapids in November. These 

 exhibits demand a very large amount of time to prepare, pack and set 

 up in addition to the time of an attendant who must be on duty for a 

 long day, and the expense is quite lieavy but they bring the horticultural 

 work of the college to many people. 



It is again a pleasure to report that a spirit of loyalty and co-opera- 

 tion among all the members of the department continues to exist and 

 that the work of Professor C. P. Halligan. Instructors Thomas Gun- 

 son, G. W. Hood, Field Agent O. K. White and Foreman A. H. Davis 

 has been veiw satisfactory. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. J. EUSTACE, 



Professor of Horticulture.
