SEED DISTRIBUTION TO EXPERIMENT STATIONS, BOTANICAL 

 GARDENS, AND UNIVERSITIES. 



An important work of the Division has been to supply the experi- 

 ment stations throughout the United States with grass and forage-plant 

 seeds for experimental purposes. Many of these varieties could not 

 easily be obtained in any other way, as they are not on the market. 



By examination of Table II it will be seen that during the last three 

 fiscal years 2,927 packages have been distributed to 33 experiment 

 stations, 2 universities, and 1 botanical garden. The stations receiving 

 the largest number of varieties were those in Arizona, California, 

 Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, 

 Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. These lots averaged 135 different 

 varieties of grass and forage plants. The results of the experiments 

 have not in all cases been reported to the Division, but were published 

 in the various bulletins and reports of the stations, to which the readei 

 is referred for detailed information. 



The receipt of reports from the experiment stations of Alabama, 

 Arizona, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, 

 Tennessee, Washington, Wyoming, Cornell University, and California 

 is here acknowledged. The results of this distribution are now being 

 compiled and will be published later as a separate report from this 

 division.
