Dr. Wilcox is conducting ex periments in pear breeding at Minnesota, and while here he will make a number of crosses of pear varieties which are avail able only at the experiment sta tion here. The station has one of the largest collections of pear varieties in the United States, in all some 250 varieties, Dr. White said. Rare Specimens Many of them are rare speci mens collected by Prof. F.
