N. H, Effects of Light Quality on Plant Growth . To determine 



effects of light from various white and colored fluorescent lamps, 

 alone and in combinations with light from incandescent lamps, on 

 plant growth. 

 Bot. 91 



N. J. Evaluation of Greenhouse Soil Testing Methods . To learn 



(l) method of analysis most sxii table for evaluating available 

 nutrient content of a wide assorfenent of greenhouse soils; (2) 

 extent of variation in available nutrient content caused by 

 methods of sampling, rate of watering and leaching the soils; 

 time of sampling with reference to time of watering, effect of 

 applications of fertilizer materials on displacement of nutrients 

 from soils,

N. J. An Investigation of the Use of Intermittent Mist for 



Propagation of Ornamental Plants by Cuttings and/or Grafting . 

 Study possibilities of extending use of mist to rooting of 

 other types of cuttings (dormant evergreen and deciduous 

 cuttings) and also to grafting and budding procedures.

N. J. Photoperiodic Response of Woody. Ornamental Plants , (l) 



Stimulate or force additional growth on container-grown nursery 

 stock. Learn (2) proper timing for light application on 

 individual species, giving maximum vegetative growth and adequate 

 hardening off so winter injury will be at a minimum; (3) period 

 when supplenental lights are effecting the additional growth to 

 occur; Cu) photoperiodic response of a wide variety of plants to 

 supplemental lighting during growing season.

N. Y. Establishment and Maintenance of Permanent Grass Sod on Heme 



(Cornell) and Institutional Grounds. Parks, and Highways . (1) Establish 

 tests for adaptability of new grasses to climatic conditions, 

 disease, and siiitability in different soils. In Kentucky Blue- 

 grass, there is a possibility that commercial seed from 1 producing 

 area may be superior in turf producing ability to that from other 

 areas. (2) Test mllxtures of basic turf grasses with varying 

 amounts of less expensive "temporary" grasses at varying seasons 

 and with varying degrees of soil preparation and after-care.
