Editor's Note:
Excerpt from Cross-Breeding and Hybridizing: The Philosophy of the Crossing of Plants, Considered With Reference to Their Improvement Under Cultivation; With a Brief Bibliography of the Subject I have obtained results as well marked as these upon a large and what might be called commercial scale. I raised the plants during the first genera tion of seeds from known parentage, the owers from which they came having been carefully pollinated by hand. In some instances the second generations were grown from hand-crossed seeds, but in other cases the' second generations were grown from seeds simply selected from the first year patches. As the experiments have been made in the field and upon a somewhat extensive scale, it was not possible to measure accurately the plants and the fruits from individuals in all cases; but the results have been so marked as to admit of no doubt as to their character. In r889, several hand-crosses were made among egg-plants. Three fruits matured, and the seeds from them were sown in 1890. Some 200 plants were grown, and they were characterized throughout the season by great sturdiness and vigor of growth. They grew more erect and taller than other plants near by grown from commercial seeds. They were the finest plants which I had ever seen. It was impossible to determine productiveness, from the fact that our seasons are too short for egg-plants, and only the earliest owers, in the large varieties, perfect their fruit, and the plant blooms continuously through the season. In order to determine how much a plant will bear, it must be grown until it ceases to bloom. When frost came, I could see little differ ence in productiveness between these crossed plants and commercial plants. A dozen fruits were selected from various parts of this patch, and in 1891 about 2, 509 plants were grown from them. Again the plants were remark ably robust and healthy, with fine foliage, and they grew erect and tall - an indication of vigor. They were also very productive, but as the cross had been made between unlike varieties and they were therefore unlike either parent, I could not make an accurate comparison. But they compared well with commercial egg-plants, and I am satisfied that they would have shown themselves to be more productive than common stock could they have grown a month or six weeks longer: Professor Munson, of the Maine Agricultural College, grew some of this crossed stock this year (1891) and he writes me that it is better than any commercial stock in his gardens.
