REPORT OF HORTICULTURIST. 17 
Report of Horticulturist. 
Lo the Director of Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station: 
SIR:—As the Hxperiment Station has not yet been reorgan- 
ized a year, a full season’s work cannot be reported upon, and 
most previous work of the department was done without regard 
to the formation of a Station. 
The department has, however, much material gathered on 
the college grounds that will soon be available for tree fruit 
variety tests, as well as in other lines of work that would take 
time to produce results, if prepared specially for the purpose. 
The possession of a cold storage plant enabled us to make 
some tests of varieties of apples for storage purposes. Some 
experiments were also made in apple thinning by the depart- 
ment previous to the formation of the Station. The results of 
all of this work are given in full in the report of the Assistant 
Horticulturist in connection with that of other experiments 
that he has undertaken. My own time has been largely de- 
voted to my regular college duties. 
Respectfully submitted, 
AY GeGUuLLEN,
