Applications for material listed in these multigraphed 
sheets may be made at any time to this Office. As they 
are received they are placed on file, and when the materi- 
al is ready for the use of experimenters it is sent to 
those on the list of applicants who can show that they are 
prepared to care for it, as well as to others selected 
because of their special fitness to experiment with the 
particular plants imported. Do not wait for the annual 
List of New Plant Introductions. 
One of the'main objects of the Office of Foreign Seed 
and Plant Introduction is to secure material for plant 
experimenters, and it will undertake as far as possible to 
fill any specific requests for foreign seeds or plants 
from plant breeders and others interested.
