Letter: Letters : . . .

Published 10 May 1997

From David Murray

Gwynneville, Australia

Following on your series on fortuitous authorship, and not to be outdone by
Young, Pretty and Black, here are Small and White. A paper published in 1930
entitled “Carbon dioxide in relation to glasshouse crops. Part IV. The effect on
tomatoes of an enriched atmosphere maintained by means of a stove” (Annals
of Applied Biology, vol 17, p 81), was written by T. Small and H. C.
White.

One hopes the tomatoes were not.
