LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Bureau of Forestry, 

 Washington, D. C, June Ji., 1902. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for 

 publication as Bulletin No. 35 of the Bureau of Forestry, a report 

 . entitled "Eucalypts Cultivated in the United States," by Prof. A. J. 

 McClatchie, agriculturist and horticulturist of the Arizona Experi- 

 ment Station, Phoenix, Ariz. Professor McClatchie has had excellent 

 opportunities for studying the Australian Eucalypts, which are now 

 extensively grown in the Southwest for ornament, for wind-breaks, 

 and for their useful timber. The phenomenallv rapid growth of the 

 Eucalypts, and the special adaptation of man}' species to dry climates, 

 render these trees of peculiar economic importance to the Southwest. 

 The descriptions and illustrations of species, with the information 

 upon their requirements of soil and climate, and upon the character 

 and uses of their wood, together form a practical guide for the tree 

 planter. 



Very respectfully, Gifford Pinchot, 



Foreste?'. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
