Applications for material listed in these multigraphed 

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

 are received they are placed on file, and when the materi- 

 al 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 well as to others selected 

 because of their special fitness to experiment with the 

 particular plants imported. Do not wait for the annual 

 List of New Plant Introductions. 



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 .
