ONE RKSULT OF FIVE YEARS OF IJKEEDING 



By crossing the two forms shown in the preceding photographs, one single and 

 producing seed, the other double and producing no seed, Mrs. Francis was 

 able to get forms like this, which are not only double but produce seed as well. 

 They are, therefore, a great im])rovement over the jjrcviously known d(jul)le 

 ffjrms, fnjm the gardener's jjoint of view. In spite of this, reproductivity has 

 been only a secondary object of the breerling, most attention having been 

 given to improving the shape and color along lines that would be likely to 

 appeal to the lover of this very variable mcml)cr of the potato family. (Fig. 8.)
