PROPAGATION, BREEDING I25 



if inches in length and f to i inch in diam- 

 eter. Shape of berry is short conical with 

 slight neck. 



One step further with this above seedling, 

 McKinley x [Wm. Belt x Wild] produced 

 a plant which showed good vigour and 

 disease resistance. Leaves, numerous, tall. 

 Sex, perfect. Season, medium. Runners, 

 long and quite numerous. Fruit stems 

 weak, short. The fruit is large in size for 

 a wild cross. Light red in colour. Rather 

 flattened conical in shape. Quality good, 

 still retaining some of the wild sweetness. 

 Frost resistance still good. 



These are two very good examples of 

 double cross-breeding and the results show 

 a little of what may be expected by careful 

 breeding. By comparing the description 

 of the parents given in the last chapter of 

 this book with the following offsprings' 

 descriptions, more interest in the subject 

 will be produced. ^ 



FIRST' EXAMPLE

 resulted in a seedling of the following de-
