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.
