[[title]] Harry A. Allard, 66, to Retire; Co-Discovered Botanical Law [[/title]]
Harry A. Allard, 66, co-discoverer of a fundamental law of the blossoming and fruiting of plants—photoperiodism—will retire from the Agriculture Department Tuesday after 40 years' service. 
Trained primarily in botany, geology and plant physiology, Mr. Allard carried on research in a relatively narrow field—studies of certain farm crops, an official announcement said.

"But he is probably best known in scientific circles and among readers of nature publications," the announcement continued, "for his avocation—nature in general.  As a naturalist he had a gift for seeing plants, insects, animals, and man as parts of life adapting themselves to the physical universe and to each other."  
It was "this fortunate combination of expertness" that led to Mr. Allard's work with Dr. W. W. Garner, then head of the Bureau of Plant Industry, in discovering 25 years ago the law that the blossoming and fruiting of plants depends upon the length of day or night.  
The department said Mr. Allard had done notable work in tobacco disease research and in scientific tobacco breeding.  His record of published papers covering nearly 50 years of research, "shows a marbling of naturalist reports of great variety."  
Mr. Allard was graduated from the University of North Carolina.  He lives at 3000 Seventh street, Arlington.  Friends say he plans to continue his studies of nature.
