In the Raab-Katzenstein works at Cassel, they were completing a rocket-drive airplane, the Grasimiecke ("Garden Warbler"). Only a moderate 125 m. p. h. would be attempted with this craft. Later airplanes would be built to rocket beyond the highest flights of motored airplanes, first with laboratory animals aboard-and plane-parachutes later with men in air-tight compartments. They calculated a speed...

Recognizing these facts, the Harvard Botanical Garden began its research and experiments in the hope that better varieties of cane might be developed. This work as a whole has been very successful, not alone in producing improved varieties for the shallower uplands, but also in developing varieties better adapted for the fertile lands, several of which have already been recognized as excellent for commercial cultivation...
