A double cross of some interest was that of the "Aristocrat" (149), 

 with red fruit, upon the cross of "Lemon Blush" (147), a yellow fruit 

 tinged with red, and the "Dwarf Champion" (153), having a pink 

 fruit. In the iirst place, all five of the plants were standards, ap- 

 proaching the "Lemon Blush" type in size and vigor, and the fruits, 

 as Judged by the color chart, were a pure orange in some instances, 

 and all were of that color upon the shoulder, with admixture of red 

 toward the blossom end.

Plate V. shows specimen fruits in sectional view of twelve different 

 crosses. The card bearing the record fractional number is a one-inch 

 square, from which the size may be judged. Xo attempt was made to 

 select more than an average fruit, and they were taken quite late in 

 the season, after the plants had passed their prime. At 1 is the double 

 cross of "Fortune-Earliana" upon "Earliana," showing that the center 

 is thoroughly broken; 2 is "Stone" upon "Stone-Favorite," in which 

 the center is still more divided up into small seed cavities. At 3 is 

 "Honor Bright-Fortune" upon "Fortune" — an oblong fruit with an 

 excellent interior, while 4 shows one of the same cross with three- 

 fourths of "Honor Bright" "blood." Number .5 is "Giant- Frogmore," 

 and 6, "Honor Bright-Frogmore." At 7 is a view of "Magnus-Crim- 

 son Cushion" cross — a large fruit with a meaty center, and number 8 

 gives a small specimen of "Ponderosa-^Iarvel." A view of "Mikado- 

 Princess" is given at 9, and a second generation fruit of "Magnus- 

 Ponderosa" at 10, with the third generation at 11. An "Acme-Stone" 

 view is seen at 12. In order to bring out the parts more distinctly, the 

 slices were permitted to dry somewhat, so that the pulp has shrunken 

 from the walls a little.
