New Nasturtiums.

The new double nasturtiums. scarlet
with maroon markings and yellow with
crimson markings, are POPULAR wherever
they are known. The flowers are double
to the center, are of large size, of more
substance than the single flowers and
consequently more lasting. The vines
are vigorous, bear handsome foliage and
bloom freely and continuously. They
do not bear seeds and the whole energy
of the plant is used in the production Of
foliage and flowers They are of the
easiest culture and grow and bloom sat
isfactorily either in summer or winter.
They do quite as well bedded in summer
as the single varieties. They are grown
only from cuttings.

seedy, while others have no seeds, or
very few. It seems that nature provides
in some way, unknown to man, for the
perpetuation and the diversifcation of
species. In both the vegetable and ami
NAL world, when certain types related
are crossed the result is a creation un-
able to reproduce itself. The cross be-
tween the horse and the jennet is sterile.
The progeny of the Muscovey and the
common puddle duck will not lay eggs
The plant breeder has the advantage
over the animal breeder, however, in that
the plant may be cut up and budded
and the same plant produced indefinitely
Herewith [ give a photo of the leaves
and fruits of these various creations.
Out of the five hybrids there is only
one that is worthy of propagation. This
is No. 6, which l have named the Car
negie." The others are too closely re-
lated to the trifoliata, and have more
or less of that rank, bitter taste, and
can be used only for lemonade.
Thsee hybrids have foliage interme-
diate between the parent trees In those
that produce strictly trifoliata foliage
the qualities of the trifolata predomi-
nate so much that the fruit is bitter, as
Nos 3, and 5. Those which produce
the foliate foliage, such as Nos. 6, 7, s
and 10, have less of the trifoliate blood,
and the qualities of the sweet orange
predominate. The "Carnegie" is an ex-
ample of this, the variety even seldom
producing a bifoliate leaf. When the
tree was a small Seeding [ noticed that
it produced only three trifoliate leaves.
The second year [ could find only few
older it seemed to lose that habit, and
produce only unfoliate leaves, somewhat
like the sweet orange, but a little small
er. See No. 6. [ have some second gen
Grafton seedlings of most of these hy-
brids that have been recrossed with the
sweet orange in order to reduce the tri-
foliate blood and make them palatable,
such as Nos. s, and 10, which are
promising varieties.

''Your new hybrid oranges were duly
received. [ will say that | gave them
careful examination and had two of
them described and bad paintings made
from them and placed on record in this
office. There is certainly a wide varia
tion in those hybrids, as shown by the
specimens received. None of them, how
ever, came up to the Carnegie and
doubt if you ever succeed in getting
anything from your experience that will
surpass it. OF course, there should be
no such word as impossible with the
plant breeder. 1t is one of the most fas-
cinating and interesting pieces of work
that can be engaged in.'-G. B. Bracket,
Pomologist. Washington, D. G.
'The Carnegie oranges, safely and
securely packed, came duly to hand.
They were distributed to several parties,
among them two ladies who are we'll
known in this community, and they pro-
nounced them delicious. [ confess their
excellence surpassed my expectations. 1t
has been a lifelong hope with me that
some day the orange belt would be ad
vanced at least degree or two further
north. [ feel assured now that this has
been accomplished by the introduction
and doubtless widespread planting of the

In fact, [ am now working on DR.. Web

north of the orange belt proper. My
success in producing the Carnegie leads
me to believe that I may obtain as good
success in making some of the other

THE CARNEGIE ORANGE $
Some of the Methods Employed to Develop New
Hybrid Varieties of Citrus Fruits
By l..
By DR.. J. L. NOrmand

1t has been my hobby for the past
twelve years TO cross breed plants in Or
der to secure harder and better varie
ties. The main work in this line has
been to cross the common Louisiana
sweet orange with the citrus trifoliata
in order to secure a palatable orange,
hardy enough to stand the climate of
Central Louisiana.
To say how we'll [ have succeeded, and
describe some of my new hybrids, [ hesi-
tate to do, as it may appear that [ am
making extravagant claims for my new
creations. There has been so much 'hot
air" going around the press of late that
it is calculated to mislead many that
have not studied this subject of plant
breeding practically. 1t must be ad
mitted, however, that by the art of sci
entifcally mating plants good results are
obtained that are decided Improvements
on the parent plants, but it takes years
of painstaking and persistent work to
reach satisfactory results.
My first attempt to cross the common
semi-tropic orange with the hardy citrus
trifoliata was somewhat of disappoint-
ment to me. The fruit produced from
these crosses had the rank, bitter taste
of the trifoliata. Now, in order to re-
duce or eliminate this bitter taste [ had
to again cross the hybrids with the sweet
orange in order to reduce the trifoliata
blood. Out of many seedlings from this
rehybridized lot [ had one that produced
h.. Ioo
cry year since It stood the great frost
of l9O4-5, and had a full crop of fine
fruit the past season.
This is tine variety I have named the
"Carnegie." Upon fruiting it for the
first time I could hardly believe my pal
ate. I had to send samples of the fruit
to some of my friends, who were ex~
perts, to let me know how they liked it,
[ give a few of the letters received re
garding the orange.
''The sample hardy orange came safely,
and it has been sampled by three of us.
1t is really a fine orange. [ lived more
than ten years in Florida and have eaten
the famous Indian River oranges, and
think know how to Judge the flavor and
value of oranges generally. It is indeed
wonderful that you could produce such
an excellent orange from any cross with
the tiny japanese orange of no flavor.
Your orange, the 'Carnegie,' is certainly
superior to any of the hardy oranges
have seen; there is no comparison. .
j. P. Wilson. Landon, Miss
''The sample oranges, Carnegie sent
to the Institution were safely received
[ am much interested in the results of
this development you have achieved, and
am obliged to you for an opportunity
to see some of the results thereof If I
could get the leisure essential [ would

tant economic advantage."- S. Wood
