(NOTE: Applications for material listed In these 
multigraphed sheets may be made at any time to this Office. 
As they are received they are filed, and when the material 
is ready for the use of experimenters it is sent to those 
on the list of applicants who can show that they are pre- 
pared to care for it, as well as to others selected be- 
cause of their special fitness to experiment with the par- 
ticular plants imported. 
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 or others interested.)
