In several of the agricultural papers
from the southern states, we find re-
ports of acres of strawberries having
been plowed up when they were so
loaded with ripe fruit that the juice
ran down the furrow. There was no
demand for them, or the price which
could be obtained would not repay ex.
pense of harvesting and shipping.
To appreciate the Importance of
cross-breeding and liberalization we
have only to look round our gardens
and our exhibition tents, or to scan
the catalogues OF our nurserymen. Sc
lection has done and is doing much for
the improvement of our plants, but it
is oss-breeding which has furnished
US with the materials for selection. A
few years ago by the expression new
plants" we meant plants newly intro
duced from other countries, but, with
the possible exception of orchids, the
number of new plants of this descrip-
ton is now relatively few.
