broad leaves of the Early Rose as to rcsem-

garden raspberry.
But the instances mentioned were excep-
tons to the law which ruled in general.
Usually the dissimilar characters of the two
parents become intimately comingled in
forming the same part in the offspring, so
that the latter was intermediate between
those from which it was supplied. Very sell
dom was it evenly balanced between the
two, but it resembled both and departed
from one by as much as it neared the 9TH
er. Quite promising were few varieties
where the most valued qualities of both par
ents were united in the new plant in Just
proportions.
The fact that the slight faults of The Sebec,
its suhken eyes and its blotches of purple
caused the rejection of four-ftths of its prog.
eny, while the seedlings of the Excelsior
white and smoother sort, We're almost tree
fr0m faults OF color or form, illustrates the
advantage which judicious crossing holds
over the raising of seedlings ut hap-hazard.
The farmer, able to forcsee to great extent
the influence which the known characters of
the parent will exert upon the character of
the offspring, possesses the power of selecting
the parents, But the full parentage of seeds,
lmpregnated naturally by the instrumentality
OF insects, &c., must remain unknown. 1t is
more likely to be of inferior strain than 9TH
erwise Both methods are exposed, it is true,
30 the clsinccs of revcfsion to inferior ante
cedents. and equally so, for against this there
is no defense; but it is in the power of the
hybridist to shield his work from unfavorable
surrounding influences which are far more
to be avoided than the tendency to revcrsion.
Though hybridzation is beset with diff
culties, and exposed to dsappointments and
discourngemcnts, though its practice de-
mands the exercise of the greatest patience
and perseverance,, there is a charm IN mold
ing sometimes almost mt will, the plastic
forms of plants, and in feeling not irrever-
entity, that the Author of Nature permits us
to continue, in some sense, the work from
which he rested on the evening of the third
day. There is fascination in watching the
development of our creations, in tracing
their characters, in seeing their opening
blooms, and in tasting their ripening fruits.

THE PEERLESS POTATO.

| received two potatoes of this variety
weighing scarcely one pound. cut them to
single eyes and planted the pieces, "a in all,
one foot apart in drill, with very small
quantity of hen manure between the SETS
No other manure was applied. Their
growth was most luXuriant, the vines sur
passing anything had ever seen in that line.
The tubers began to form early, and ut all
stages of their growth were larger than the
Early Rose growing beside them; and if
their quality had been us good, a point which
failed to test ut that time, they would have
even surpassed that variety us an early pota-
to. They were ripe when the Peach Blow
was about two-thirds grown. The product
consisted almost entirely of large potatoes,
and measured three bushels. | weighed
three of them together, their weight being
six and one-half pounds. The general ap-
pearance OF the potato is promising, and its
quality very good.-WILBUR A. CHRIsTY,
