PLANT BREEDING. 



(A. J. LoGSDAiL, B.S.A., Assistant in Charge.) 

 Plant breeding can be roughly divided into the two main divisions of that of 

 pure scientific research, and applied or practical scientific work. Pure scientific 

 research can only be carried on by private individuals or institutions especially 

 endowed for such work. Our public institutions must necessarily devote their chief 

 interest to that of applied research, and endeavour to secure practical, and commer- 

 cially valuable results from the work undertaken, relying for further basic scientific 

 knowledge on those institutions engaged solely in research work
