the stem also starts the plant into

stantially Identical with chilling.
AS a single example Of the practl-
cal application Of the principle of chill
ing, it may be stated that the sclen-
lists Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture in efforts to domestlcate the wild
blueberTy plant, have succeeded,
through the medium of hybrlds, In
bringing these plants into highly pro-
ductive bearing. They have made
them fruit so luXurlously and abund-
antly that they brought returns to the
growers at the rate Of more than ST.

the BURBERRY from q small wild fruit
the size Of q pea to a fruit almost
the size of a Concord grape, and they
have made Its culture profitable in.

These things they would not hare
been able to do, however, unless they
had first worked out the principle Of
chilling, an understanding Of which
was essential to their work Of breed
Ing and propagation.

sponsible for these improved varie-
ties Of blueberries have made them
yield, In greenhouses, ripe blueberries

times from midsummer to autumn the
plants were placed In sass frames arti'
fcially chilled. After two or three
months chilling they were tnken into
a greenhouse and at once began grow

that had not been through the chilling
period continued dormant in the same
greenhouse. This is additional proof
OF the fact that period Of chilling is
general requirement of northern
plants.
