This collection consists of illustrations published in the Station Bulletin series. The illustrations were used in 129 Station Bulletins (with numbers 214-398) published between 1925 and 1941. Not all of the Bulletins published during this time period are represented.

Subjects of the illustrations are representative of the various agricultural research projects both in Corvallis and at Branch Stations throughout Oregon during that time period. Notable topics are horticulture, especially fruits, berries, and nuts; dairy husbandry and production; forage crops such as hay, alfafa, and oats; cattle and sheep raising and marketing; poultry; specialty crops such as hops and flax; soils and irrigation; and plant diseases and insect pests.

Especially notable are photographs of Asian pears and pear trees taken by Frank Charles Reimer during a trip to China and published in Station Bulletin 214 in 1925.

Forms

The illustrations consists primarily of b/w photographic prints but also include charts, graphs, and drawings. The collection also includes several original negatives of Bulletin covers.
