A bibliography on forest genetics and forest tree improvement

The present boom in forst genetics makes it difficult for even the specialist to keep abreast of all the latest developments in this field. Therefore, in the fall of 1954 the committee on Forest Tree Improvement, Society of American Foresters, asked the author to prepare a bibliography of publications issued in 1954. As far as possible, all references that have a bearing on the genetics of forest trees are inlcluded. Also, some borderline references (for example, those on vegetative propagation) are included because they are primarily of interest to tree breeders. This bibliography was prepared from standard forestry, botanical, and abstracting journals; experiment station publications; and correspondence with tree breeders in this country and abroad. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by authors. A subject-matter index can be found at the end.
