THE BLANDY EXPERIMENTAL FARM

The Blandy Experimental Farm is affiliated with the Miller School of
Biology, although independently administered. It is located in Clarke County,
near Boyce, Virginia, about twelve miles east of Winchester, in one of the
most beautiful parts of the Shenandoah Valley. The Farm consists of 710
acres of pasture, orchard, woods, and cultivated fields. A small part of
this area is devoted to research work in plant genetics. Laboratory facilities
with excellent equipment for graduate research in plant genetics and
cytology are provided. Living quarters are associated with the laboratories.
Several fellowships varying from $500.00 to $1,000.00, are available. Climatically,
the summers are pleasant with an agreeable temperature. The
nights are generally cool. The laboratories are in operation from April 1
to September 15. For the remainder of the year the research activities are
transferred to the Miller School of Biology at Charlottesville. For further
information, write to Dr. Orland E. White, Director, Blandy Experimental
Farm, Biology Bldg., University, Virginia.
