 full representation, ten pages of the catalogue 

 being devoted to them, and the new varieties 

 named and described including roses, callas, 

 lilies, gladioli, a number of forms of clematis, 

 and a new poppy. New types of hybrid seedling 

 potatoes were also listed, and a new form of 

 crossbred tomato, called the Combination. 



The extraordinary Aerial potatoes grown on 

 potato vines grafted on the roots of the tomato; 

 and the no less extraordinary potatoes grown on 

 a stock having an ingrafted tomato top are also 

 shown, although merely as curiosities and not as 

 commercial products. 



To complete the summary of the evidence that 

 was presented for the possibility of producing 

 new varieties through crossing old species, it 

 should be added that mention was made in a 

 separate section of numerous experiments with 

 seedlings of the ampelopsis, a new type of wax 

 myrtle, and "some charming, crossbred seedling 

 tigridias, new cannas, arums, amaryllis, brodi-

 things not yet near enough to perfection to merit
