Abstract
A COMPREHENSIVE picture of all the phases of plant breeding work at Cambridge was seen by plant breeders assembled for the first conference called by the Agricultural Research Council and held during July 9–11, for workers from the Aberystwyth, Cambridge and Corstorphine Plant Breeding Stations and the John Innes Horticultural Institution, Merton. Such conferences were recommended by the Plant Breeding Survey Group of the Agricultural Research Council and in future years will meet at the other stations in turn, enabling workers at breeding stations supported by the Council in Great Britain to learn the main outlines of the work at the other institutions and to discuss their common problems.
