Tex. Introduction. Multiplication. Preservation, and Determination 



of Potential Value of New Plants for Industrial and Other Purposes, 

 and for the Preservation of Valuable Germplasm of Economic Flants. 

 To (l) introduce species and ecotypes of plants into Texas which 

 might have possible agricultural value; (2) evaluate introduced 

 plants as new crops, as prospective sources of new germplasm in 

 crop improvement, for possible new uses; and (3) evaluate prospective 

 usefulness of certain native species and forms appearing to be worthy 

 of trial.
