Abstract
THE Plant Breeding Institute of the Swedish Seed Association, commonly known as “Svalöf", was founded in 1886. This account of its history and activities was prepared on the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary ; but the main purpose was ”to indicate the willingness—even the eagerness —of Swedish Plant Breeding to take part again in the international collaboration of scientific plant breeders’ after the period of isolation during the War.
