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.
