376 The Culture and Forcing of Easter Lilies. By Harold E. White. 

 20 pp. August 1940. 



The culture of Easter lilies for potted plants and cut flowers as 

 an important source of income to Massachusetts florists. The cul- 

 tural conditions necessary for success with this crop are described 

 and discussed, with special reference to the effect of controlled 

 rooting temperatures on the growth of the lilies. 



2)11 Inheritance of Broodiness in Rhode Island Reds. By F. A. Hays. 

 11 pp. October 1940. 



Breeding tests extending over ten years have led to the following- 

 conclusions. Broodiness as measured by the number of broody 

 periods in the first laying year is inherited. Broodiness depends 

 in inheritance on two complementary dominant genes, neither of 

 which appears to be sex-linked. Deferred broodiness greatly re- 

 tards progress in breeding to eliminate the broody trait, and the 

 complete elimination of broodiness appears to be very unlikely.
