Ward and Its sports are their only 

 rivals as to health. 



Following this same line of breeding 

 we have in evolution new types of 

 forcing sorts. Already we have in 

 sight a race that we expect ultimately 

 to give us 30 to 100 blooms per plant, 

 equal to Doris, Alice, Matchless, etc. 

 When we get the quality of Laddie out 

 with better health, quicker growth, 

 we expect then to yield 12/25 blooms 

 per plant. . 



A continuous summer bloomer is the 

 hardest nut to crack, although we 

 hope to evolve in this field also, in 

 fact we are exploiting the whole field 

 for betterment of carnations. 



Some years ago I anticipated the 

 future gladioli (then unseen), when 

 gladioli growers read It the letters it 

 brought me made me feel a bit that 1 

 had gone too far, however, two years 

 later my seedlings brought out the 

 very gladioli I predicted for the future. 

 Now I presume my carnation story 

 will likewise be ridiculed and laughed 

 at. but we have them so far along that 

 another cross will give us epoc mak- 

 ing carnations. The carnation will be 

 earlier and later, freer, larger, health- 

 ier, better in every way. 



Roses bred along this line will out- 

 class the very freest, force quicker, 

 maximum quality in every way. 

 Already we have roses absolutely 

 hardy at 30 degrees below zero — the 

 forerunner of epoc making roses — 

 among them absolutely thornless. 



Breeding corn along these lines will 

 give us corn that ought to be 65A5 day 

 corn — our very best sorts we will have 

 in large, better ears in every way 

 and ripen In 80/120 days. If not 80 to 

 90 days. 



Breeders as a whole are asleep, but 

 the world does not move in its cycles 

 in a day. 



The breeders as a whole cannot take 

 the growers place, each must excel In 

 his niche, but withal, the future will 

 soon unfold great advances, at least 

 such is the view of 



C. Betscher.
