ABSTRACT THE fourteenth report of the National Institute of Agricultural Botany records considerable progress in the selection and multiplication of improved crops. Exhaustive tests of yield
of many farm and garden plants have been made in different districts, and authoritative comparisons of varieties are now available. Considerable research is being devoted to problems of
seed-testing, and a large number of routine tests have been made for other investigators. The classical potato trials at Ormskirk, Lanes, seem to have suffered from severe climatic
conditions, but the work on potato synonyms progresses satisfactorily, and should do much to protect the farmer and gardener from unfair exploitation. The head office of the Institute is in
Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, and a very close co-operation is maintained with related organisations. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
