Errata. In the i.ssue of The Monthly Bulletin for August, 1914, on 

 page 314 appears the following statement: "The passing of the Plant 

 Quarantine Act by congress in August, 1912, and the creation of the 

 Federal Agricultural Board." This is a typographical error and should 

 read as set forth in the copy, "Federal Horticultural Board. ' ' A similar 

 error occurs on page 312, where "State Board of Agriculture" should 

 read, as per copy, ' ' State Board of Horticulture. ' ' — F. M. 



On page 380 of the September issue of the Monthly Bulletin, under 

 heading of Wiekson Plums, the number of trees twelve years old should 

 have read 225 instead of 25.
