BUD SELECTION
EFFORTS TO AVOID LOSS
The work of bud selection, said Mr. G. A. Green at the National Horticultural Trades Association's conference to-day, must be placed in the hands of some reliable authority, or there would be a loss to producers of fruit trees. There was an increasing need for arrangements to be made whereby certified propagating materials could be secured from trees on experimental stations, or in orchards, under observation conditions as to the variety and type. This applied to all classes of fruits. The work already accomplished had been good and useful, but more was now necessary. This was a matter in which the Fruitgrowers' Federation, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Besearch, the Horticultural Division, the New Zealand Institute of Horticulture, and others wore vitally interested. They Bhould confer with the nurserymen with a view to State aid being secured. Welcome assistance in. starting citrus survey work had been continued by the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Eeuearch through the Institute of i&wfciewltsre.
