SCIENCE 



737 



research men as other departments of the 

 stations. 



An effort was made to find if the output 

 of horticultural bulletins is as great as from 

 other departments, but this part of the in- 

 quiry was a failure. Of the nearly 200 

 "official" horticultural projects now under 

 way in the various stations, about eleven 

 per cent, are Adams Fund investigations 

 and over thirty per cent, of the others are 

 regarded as being of research grade. 



In conclusion I may add that it appears 

 that the whole range of horticulture from 

 floriculture to pomology now seems to be as 

 well manned as other departments, and if 

 the next few years does not see a greatly 

 increased output of reliable literature, then 

 we are not living up to our opportunities.
