Abstract
THE breeding of plants with the object of obtaining new and improved varieties is at best a slow and laborious process, with chances of success by no means assured. Any means of prediction of the probable results of a cross would be of immense value, and Dr. Darlington shows in a series of eight papers1 how far this object may be attained by a previous knowledge of the cytology of the forms to be crossed.
