Abstract
An inbred strain of tomatoes was grown in sand culture with and without boron added to the nutrient medium. The lack of B in this expt. resulted in less growth and fruitfulness accompanied by severe deficiency symptoms with considerably less B in vegetative parts of the plant, but did not significantly affect ascorbic acid content of fruits.
