Abstract
NEW introductions from Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Canada and the United States are included among the 163 distinct varieties and strains of crop plants now being tested by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany, Cambridge. Many very promising varieties have been submitted by private and 'official' plant breeders working in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In order to give the varieties every opportunity of demonstrating their merits, the fifteen principal yield trials are repeated at centres as far apart as Newcastle-on-Tyne, Bridgwater, and Wye (Kent).
