Excerpt from Breeding Crop Plants These facts should help to give the student of plant-breeding some idea of the great accomplishments in plant production in earlier times and to correct possible exaggeration Of relative values of the results of recent work. Present-day breeding has achieved great results and will accomplish much more; the foundation, however, was laid many years ago.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Methods of Plant Breeding A few years ago Dr.. B. T. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, mapped out some plant-breeding work for the writer which involved crossing varieties of lettuce, alfalfa, and cowpea, and also certain species of Poa, Trifolium, Melilotus, etc. The work in the beginning presented many difficulties which have since been over come, and it is now progressing satisfactorily. The improvement of plants by cross-breeding varieties is gradually becoming an important factor in the culture of many Of our field and garden crops. The majority of intentional crosses and hybrids made in the past represent work which has been easy of accomplishment. The more difficult subjects have been passed by or at most the efforts of breeders with the hitherto refractory genera have to a large extent been nullified by natural Obstacles in the path Of success. The only difficult part of plant breeding lies in knowing just how to make the most of a cross or hybrid which has been secured. The literature on this subject which has appeared during the last few years is apt, unfortunately, to lead the beginner and even the prac tical breeder into a maze, and he may conclude that the subject is too complex for comprehension. This should not cause discouragement, however, because the mission Of the plant breeder 13 to produce varieties which are in some measure improvements over the Old ones, and each advance made will tend toward that perfecting of plant life which will insure better products for man and the domestic animals. The present contribution to the subject deals not with laws, but with methods used by the writer in accomplishing what have hitherto been considered impossible or difficult crosses, and they may prove helpful to others engaged m the same line Of work. Until recently it has been found impos'sible to cross many plants owing to the fragile nature of the sexual organs. This difficulty has been removed, and the process whereby it has been accomplished is here described for the first time.

Book Description
Excerpt from Plant Breeding in Scandinavia The material presented in this book is the result of a special enquiry made by the writer into the present status of plant-breeding in that part of Northern Europe known as Scandinavia, which comprises the three countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. For various reasons practically all the time available for this investigation (about nine months) was spent at the headquarters of the famous Plant Breeding Institution known as the "Swedish Seed Association" situated at Sval of, a little village in the southern part of Sweden. My remarks will therefore concern very largely the work of this institution, although reference will be made from time to time to endeavors of a similar nature elsewhere. The main object of this publication is to give a general survey of the work conducted at Svalof from the time of its inception and to indicate some of the facts and circumstances which have led to the adoption of principles of breeding now recognized at that place. For this exposition I claim neither originality nor completeness. The facts submitted have been taken from printed or private records to which reference is made in practically all cases. The one object has been, in the words of Huxley, "to know what is true in order to do what is right." I am also deeply sensible of the great obligation I am under to Prof. Hjalmar Nilsson, director of the Institution at Svalof, not only for permission to investigate the work, but still more for the personal assistance and great courtesy which he at all times extended. In no less degree am I indebted to Drs. Nilsson-Ehle, Hans Tedin, Hernfrid Witte and Mr. Lundberg who, as experts in direct charge of their respective branches, were most untiring in their efforts to present their work exactly as it is. While efforts have been made to render the following pages as intelligible to the general public as the nature of the subject would permit, they are addressed primarily to the scientific reader. In order more fully to appreciate the difficulties as well as the possibilities associated with the production of more useful forms of cultivated plants in Sweden, the reader is commended to study carefully the Appendix in which are considered the geographical position, physiography, climate, precipitation etc., of this country.

Excerpt from Plant-Breeding Being Five Lectures Upon the Amelioration of Domestic Plants I hope that teachers of horticulture and botany may find the book useful in their classes. When it is necessary to abridge the instruction or to present it to untrained students, only Lectures III. And V. May be used, for these contain the matters of greatest demonstrative importance.

Book Description
Excerpt from Plant-Breeding Being Six Lectures Upon the Amelioration of Domestic Plants IN the eight years since this book was sent to the printer, there have been great changes in our attitude toward most of the fundamental questions that are discussed in its pages. In fact, these years may be said to have marked a transition between two habits of thought in respect to the means of the evolution of plants, - from the points of view held by Darwin and the older writers to those arising from definite experimental studies in species and varieties. We have not given up the old nor wholly accepted the new, but it is certain that our outlook is shifting. So far as practical plant-breeding is involved, the changing attitude is concerned chiefly with discussions of the nature of varieties and the nature of hybridi zation.

Excerpt from The Relation of Certain Biological Principles to Plant Breeding There will be given in the following pages a short outline of the current belief in the most important theories and principles of variation, evolution and heredity, with their practical applica tion to methods of breeding farm crops, which it is hoped will give the farmer an idea of the scope and present state of the problems. Should the reader be sufficiently interested to pursue the subject furthers, he should consult the annotated list of supplementary reading given at the end of this paper.
