The National Institute of Agricultural Botany
Top of page
THE seventeenth report of the National Institute of Agricultural Botany, Cambridge, is now available, and copies may be obtained on application to the Institute (Huntingdon Road, Cambridge). The work of the Institute is directed to supplying the farmer with unbiased information as to the seeds he sows, and the report deals with methods by which this information was obtained in 1936. New varieties of all farm crops are tested by the Institute as soon as they appear, the trials being conducted on a field-scale at six permanent stations in England, and in some cases at additional centres on a farmer's own land.
