Experiment Station Notes.

The Superintendent of the Expert

ton upon trees. shrubs, plants, and
their planting in this and Western
Kansas localities is available at the
Station. Persons interested and wish
ing suggestions upon varieties to plant
and method of culture may either call,
telephone, or write to the Experiment
Station, and the best information will
be supplied.
To limited extent. the nurseries at
the Station have forest trees for sale
at about cost Of production.
