 Plant Material Showing Packing Methods. 



Applications for material listed in these multigraphed 

 sheets may be made at any time to this Office. As they 

 are received they are filed, and when the material is 

 ready for the use of experimenters it is sent to those on 

 the list of applicants who can show that they are prepared 

 to care for it, as \vell as to others selected because of 

 their special fitness to experiment with the particular 

 plants imported. Do not wait for the Autumn Catalogue. 



One of the main objects of the Office of Foreign Seed 

 and Plant Introduction is to secure material for plant 

 experimenters, and it will undertake as far as possible to 

 fill any specific requests for foreign seeds or plants 

 from plant breeders and others interested.
