The showroom of the Institute and the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding at Wageningen in 1960

Abstract

The breeding research of the Institute and the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding has been pictured on plates which are hung on show in a temporary showroom in the months of May, June and July. For that purgose the threshing floor of the Institute is fitted up as a reception room during these months. New plates are added every year: with small costs and without too much trouble an attractive show is soon made.The writer gives a description of this exhibition in 1960, together with a survey of the working programmes of the institutes.In the references a number of articles are mentioned describing the work of the two institutes.
