Abstract
The success or failure of temperate-zone plants transferred to the tropics—blackberry, Boysenberry, corn, grape, plum, raspberry, tomato, Youngberry and others have been tried—is controlled not only by disease, humidity and temperature, but also (in many cases) by the shorter day-length and absence of cold-dormancy there.
