California State Board of Horticulture. The reports of this 

 board have been published in six series. The first series consisted 

 of one annual report published in 1SS3; the second of unnum- 

 bered biennial reports; the third of unnumbered annual reports; 

 the fourth of numbered biennial reports beginning with No. 4; 

 the fifth of numbered biennial reports beginning with No. 1. 

 A series of bulletins have been published from 1KS3-In00 num- 

 bered from 1-71. It is doubtful, however, whether any were 

 issued between 8 and 50. Five non-serial reports were issued 

 between 1886 and 1901 consisting of reports of committees, 

 library catalogues and the like. Separate reports have also been 

 issued of the proceedings of the Fruit Growers' Convention. 

 The first report issued by this board was published in 1883 

 under the title, "Third Annual Convention of the Fruit Growers 

 of the State of California." Reports of succeeding conventions 

 have been published, either in separate form or in the report of 

 the State Board (later in the report of the State Commission), 

 with the exception of the twentieth to twenty-tliird conven- 

 tions which were never published. At least three state conven- 

 tions of olive-growers have been held under the auspices of the 

 State Board of Horticulture, 1S91-3, for which separate reports 

 have been issued. These have appeared under the title "Olive 

 Industry. Proceedings of the State Convention of Olive 

 Growers, held under the auspices of the State Board of Horti- 

 culture." Organized March 4. 1881, as a subsidiary board to the 

 State Board of ^■iticuItu^aI Commissioners. On March 13, 1883,

California State Board of Viticultural Commissioners. 

 Published seven annual reports for the years 1880-94. Of 

 the first report, ISSO, two editions were issued. The third 

 report, 1882-4, was published in, or rather was identical with, 

 the report of the chief viticultural officer for those years. There 

 were also issued separately two annual reports of the chief 

 viticultural officer, the first for 1881, published 1882, the second 

 for 1882-3 to 1883-4 (being the one just mentioned). Later 

 reports of the viticultural officer are contained in the annual 

 reports of the board. Two publications, "Grafting to Muscats" 

 and "Wines, Their Care and Treatment," issued in 1888 and 

 1889, are called .\ppendix 4 and 5 respectively of the report 

 for 1888, but no report for 18S8 seems to have appeared. How- 

 ever, there was issued a report of proceedings of sixth annual 

 viticultural convention and the report of the president of this 

 board. These may have constituted the report for this year.
