Hicock, of the Connecticut Agricultural experiment Station, we 
have been especially fortunate during the past year in receiving 
an offer of cooperation from the White Foundation, L itchheld, 
Conn. Mr. William Mitchell Van W inkle, president, and Mr. 
Clifford Ongley, superintendent, have offered to take over these 
hybrids of Chinese-American stock, and continue the breeding 
under our direction. The Avon Old Farms School, Avon, Conn, 
through Mr. Holland R. Sperry, and the Choate School, W alitue 
ford, Conn., through Mr. ( George St. John and Mr. Tokai Wilfong, 
are Moen in a similar manner on other problems. The 
list of all those cooperating with us is too extensive to include 
here. The Fox Experimental Forest, Hillsboro, N. H., through 
Mr. Henry I. Baldwin; the Yale School of Forestry, through 
Prof. R. C. Hawley; the Dept. of F orestry of the State of Conn. 
through Mr. Austin Hawes; and the Conn. Forest and en 
Assoc., through Prof. H. H. Chapman and Mr. J. Walter Bassett 
are some of the other cooperating agencies. To these and to all 
other institutions and individuals who have helped us we are 
pleased to acknowledge our indebtedness. 
As in former years we have continued to enjoy the cordial 
cooperation of the Division of Forest Pathology, U.S.D.A 
Nuts Received in 1941 with List of Donors 
We welcome this opportunity of expressing our appreciation 
to the many persons who sent us nuts in 1941. As in 1940, the 
list includes many States, and is ample evidence of the general 
interest in this problem. It is very important that nuts mailed 
to us should be kept fairly moist, by w rapping in sphagnum moss, 
moist cotton, etc. Drying kills the embryo and prevents ger- 
mination. Address: A. H. Graves, Brooklyn Botanic Garden,
