Bulletin 105 - Pedigree Selection Of Seed At The Chapman And Merredin Experiment Farms, Geo L. Sutton

Bulletins 1 - 2999

A Paper read before the Royal Society of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 12th October,1921.

"Pedigree" or "Pure Line" selection is that system of selection under which the choice is made, not. solely because of the attractive appearance of the plant, but because of its ability to transmit its good qualities to the progeny. Such a system requires, and the method of selection ensures, that the qualities sought after shall be hereditary. For this purpose a record of ancestry is essential, hence the use of the term "pedigree."

Bulletin No 84 - Tomatoes - Their Culture In Western Australia, H. D. Larwood

Bulletins 1 - 2999

The use of the tomato has become so general during recent years that it is now in great demand as one of the most popular and wholesome articles of diet.

The plant is heat-loving, but is easily destroyed by host. In temperate regions it is seasonable during the summer months. With suitable methods an early crop can be produced several weeks earlier than the main crop, and several months before stone fruits are available; because of this the "early' crop of tomatoes is usually a most profitable one. "Early" tomatoes placed oni the market during September and October often realise …

Bulletin No 81 - The Improvement Of Pastures With Notes On The Pasture Trefoils In Western Australia, E. A. Mann, D. A. Herbert

Bulletins 1 - 2999

Agriculture can be roughly divided for practical purposes into two large divisions, those of animal husbandry and vegetable husbandry. It is with the former that this pamphlet is chiefly concerned and its object is to contribute, it possible, in some small measure towards the problem of how to increase time stock carrying capacity of our natural pasture lands. it is unnecessary to dwell upon the importance of this question, especially in relation to the remarkable developments which are taking place in time wool-growing industry in the Southern and more coastal areas of Western Australia.
