Established the first Florida field trials of Rangpur × Troyer in 1968 using seed obtained from J. R. Furr.
Florida field trials of Rangpur × Troyer began in 1968 under Richard L. Phillips at the Citrus Research and Education Center. Phillips obtained seed from J. R. Furr. The paper identifies selection C54-64-8, brought by USDA to its foundation farm near Leesburg, as the seed source for virtually all Florida experimental work it describes; it does not establish that selection as the same accession as UCR CRC 3997.
