FEDERAL HORTICULTURAL BOARD. 



In my biennial report of 1911-1912 I mentioned tlie fact of 

 having been appointed collaborator of tbe Federal Horticultural 

 Board, to supervise tlie inspection of the Federal plant quarantine 

 act of August 20, 1912. During the years of 1913 and 1914 

 various rules and regulations known as quarantine notices have 

 been passed and published prohibiting the introduction of certain

 coming here have not had the required permits, and these were
