NEW YORK AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 



Geneva, N. Y., December 10, 1928 



To the Board of Trustees of Cornell University: 



Sirs. — I have the honor to transmit herewith manuscript and illustrations 

 for Part I, Volume I, of The Vegetables of New York. This is the first installment 

 of a work in three volumes to be entitled The Vegetables of New York authorized 

 to be prepared and printed by the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in 

 Chapter 514, Laws of New York, 1925. The manner of printing is provided for 

 in section 2 of the Act just named as follows: 



" The said volumes shall be illustrated with colored plates of the various 

 vegetables, contain appropriate text and scientific references, and the printing 

 in every way shall conform to previous volumes of the fruit books published by 

 the said station. Each volume shall consist of two or more parts, each of said 

 parts to treat of a group of related vegetables. These parts may be prepared and 

 printed separately." 



The present plan, a tentative one, is to publish the three volumes in thirteen 



parts. From time to time manuscripts and illustrations for the remaining eleven 



or more parts will be sent to the printer without further formal letters of 



transmission. 



Respectfully submitted, 



U. P. HEDRICK 



Director
