BULLETINS OF THE BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY. 



The Bureau of Plant Industry, which was organized July 1, 1901, includes Vege- 

 table Pathological and Physiological Investigations, Botanical Investigations and 

 Experiments, Grass and Forage Plant Investigations, Pomological Investigations, and 

 Experimental Gardens and Grounds, all of which were formerly separate Divisions, 

 and also Seed and Plant Introduction and Distribution, the Arlington Experimental 

 Farm, Tea Culture Investigations, and Domestic Sugar Investigations. 



Beginning with the date of organization of the Bureau, the several series of bulle- 

 tins of the various Divisions were discontinued, and all are now published as one 

 series of the Bureau. A list of the bulletins issued in the present series follows. 



Attention is directed to the fact that "the serial, scientific, and technical publica- 

 tions of the United States Department of Agriculture are not for general distribution. 

 All copies not required for official use are by law turned over to the Superintendent 

 of Documents, who is empowered to sell them at cost." All applications for such 

 publications should, therefore, be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Union 

 Building, Washington, D. C.
