GUAM AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



13 



SEED AND PLANT INTRODUCTION. 



The plant introduction work has received considerable attention 

 because it is fully realized that Guam produces neither the kinds 

 nor the amounts of the different tropical fruits and vegetables that 

 it should. An orchard has been laid out on the site of a former 

 orchard at the station. The situation selected is considered desir- 

 able, and with good care given to the trees this station should be 

 able successfully to add many tropical fruits and vegetables to the 

 list now grown in Guam. Most of the seeds and trees introduced 

 were received near the end of the fiscal year, and few of them had 

 been planted in their permanent situations at the end of the year. 

 Through the cooperation of the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant 

 Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department 

 of Agriculture, the following plants were introduced :
