EXPERIMENT STATION REPORT. 



491 



At 24- is shown ten seeds of 21/7, that is, "Bay State'' upon 

 "Warren," in which the male type of seed is closely adhered to. 

 "Diiiilap's Marrow" (25) upon ''Winter Crookne'ck" (25/18) 

 gave only empty seed coats, but these, as shown at 26, were re- 

 markably long, l)ut in other respects closely resembled the mother 

 (18). 



The cross between the ''Warted Hubbard" (26) upon ''Dunlap's 

 Marrow" (26/25) gave handsome, broad, pure white, medium- 

 sized seeds, shown at 28, not agreeing with the characteristics of 

 either parent, but favoring the father. 



The large, brown, rimmed seeds shown at 30 resulted from the 

 breeding of the "Canada Crookneck" (27) upon the "Hubbard" 

 (27/1), the seeds of the male parent shown at 29 being much 

 smaller than those of the hybrid, but otherwise similar. The white 

 of the "Hubbard" is entirely lost. 



The last cross shown in the plate is of "Faxon" (30) upon "Bos- 

 ton Marrow" (2). Here both parents have chalky-white seeds, but 

 differ in size. From the same fruit two ty^^es of seeds could be 

 easily selected, as shown by the two groups of five each at 32.
