Comments on Vegetative Propagation Reseach Conducted in the Genetic Department at the University of Wisconsin

Investigations relative to the development of satisfactory techniques for vegetative propagation of selected breeding material have been in progress in the Genetics Department at the University of Wisconsin for several years, Unfortunately, until the winter of 1954-55 local greenhouse facilities were not available, necessitating the use of greenhouse facilities quite distant from the Madison offices. This procedure did not lend itself to close observation of the material with the result that detailed experiments and the attending necessary observations could not be made, Trials which were undertaken have been of real value, however, in helping to discover techniques which could be used in the tree improvement work here in Wisconsin.
