LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

U. S. Department of Agriculture,

Division of Pomology,

Washington, D. C., January 30, 1897.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for publication as a bulletin of this division, articles on “Edible figs: their culture and curing,” by Dr. Gustav Eisen, of San Francisco, Cal., and “Fig culture in the Gulf States,” by Frank S. Earle, of Auburn, Ala.

The climatic conditions of the sections of the United States in which figs can be successfully grown are so widely different that it has been deemed advisable to publish these papers as one bulletin, in order that a comprehensive presentation of the subject may be within reach of those interested in this industry.

S. B. Heiges, Pomologist.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton,

Secretary of Agriculture.
