FRUIT NOTES 

 1936 - 1949 (inclusive) 

 (ComD.iled by V. H. Thies, Extension Horticulturist) 



Since 1936, this periodical has been issued by the Extension 

 Service as a means of informing Massachusetts fruit growers on 

 matter of current interest. Both tree fruits and small fruits 

 have been included. The first mimeographed issue in March, 1936 

 was preceded by carbon copies of similar material mailed from 

 time to time to the County Extension offices. (Two of these releases, 

 July and August 1935, are here included). 



It has been our purpose through the years to cover a wide 

 variety of items and to have the write-ups relatively brief. 

 Considerable attention has been given to abstracting Experiment 

 Station reports and to the presentation of timely information. A 

 casual survey of this material, month by month, will provide the 

 reader with a running account of the various problems confronting 

 the fruit grower in years past and the suggested solutions. 



For various reasons, there are quite a number of missing 

 issues in this bound volume. In several of the months no issue 

 was prepared. In others, a demand for the extra copies exhausted 

 the supply. The missing issues are as follows: 



1936 (Jan., Feb., March, April, July, Aug., Nov., Dec); 

 1937 (Aug., Ser)t., Oct.); 1939 (Oct.); 19A3 (Aug.); 1946 (Feb., 

 Nov.,);1947 (Jan., Ma-js June, Sept.,); 1943 (Jan., Mar., May, Sept.,); 

 1949 (Jan., :SSS^, June, Sept, Dec.,).
