In these lively and provocative essays, Jerome Malitz explores how ornamental plants could be improved through hybridization and genetic engi neering. With the golden age of plant discovery now mainly a thing of the past, the quest for new varieties leads to the laboratory or to chance muta tions in the garden. Biotechnological innovations such as protoplast fusion, gene transfer, and in vitro fertilization are already being applied to create new and improved plants. Such scientific methods will no doubt play an ever-increasing role in the devel opment of new garden plants.
