THE BREEDER AND HIS PRODUCT 



Mr. N. A. Jones and one of his hybrid wheats. Men Hke Jones in New York and Etter in 

 CaUfornia are necessary for agricultural progress and prosperity, the basis of our civilization. Is 

 it not just and expedient that a system of plant patents be perfected to protect breeders and 

 insure their reaping a sufficient reward from their lifelong labours to prevent pecuniary ditticul- 

 ties and other worries interferring with their work? See N. A. Jones— Plant Breeder, f. IU6 

 (Frontispiece).
