Dutch horticulturists at the Institute of Horticultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, Netherlands, are hoping to develop a series of clonal, dwarfing rootstocks for sweet cherry similar to the East MaIling rootstocks for apple. A. S. De Bruyne, of the Institute, reports in the "Grower" (April 4, 1959) that crosses were made among the dwarf type Prunus incisa compactaand two types of Prunus nipponica Kurilensis. Selections were made from the hundreds of progeny, of which 141 resisted breaking at the union after two years. They have been budded and have come into bearing. The budded trees have borne abundantly for their size, and have so far shown no aphids, silver leaf or bacterial canker.
