Abstract
Carson and Howard in their recent letter1 consider the possibility that the 'bolter' sport Which occurs in many varieties of potatoes is due to chromosome abnormality—excess or deficiency. Their examination of root tips, however, forces them to conclude that there is no chromosome difference between â 'bolter' and normal.
