LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 
U. 8. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 
BureEavu OF Forestry, 
Washington, D. C., June 4, 1902. 
Str: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for 
publication as Bulletin No. 35 of the Bureau of Forestry, a report 
entitled ‘‘ Kucalypts 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 phenomenally rapid growth of the 
Kucalypts, and the special adaptation of many 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 PrncHor, 
Forester. 
Hon. JAMES WILSON, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
