of the parasite, the degree of specialisation of parasite, on which it depends
whether immune varieties can be found; 2) the individuality of varieties
of plants among which he looks for immunity: the greater the genetical
difference among these varieties, the greater chance he lias of finding immune
varieties; on the other hand, the less differentiated they are, the less the
probability of success. The plant breeding garden should include as many
different varieties as possible, to be sure of success in selection of immu
ne varieties.
