Bangladesh University Department of Horticulture????? OK. I'll humour
you and assume there actually is such a thing. Then why are they
researching glads instead of doing something useful, such as
researching how to feed all those millions of starving Bangladeshis?
Yeah, they have their priorities right, don't they?

And why are there any horticultural stations in the USA when that all
funding could be going to putting an end to racism, poverty, crazy-ass
presidents who start wars for made-up reasons, lack of access to an
overpriced & underinsured medical system, finding safer cleaner cheaper
energy options that don't require crazy-ass presidents to start wars, &
proving whether or not the chewing gum loses its flavor on the bedpost
overnight.

But seriously chumster, one doesn't build up economic viability for a
nation by avoiding investment in economically viable industries, including
horticultural. That'll do more good for Bangladesh than any number of
sweatshops full of children earning fifty cents a day so you can buy cheap
slacks at WalMart.
