who can enter the field with prospect of success. 

 Granted that endowment, however, and a rea- 

 sonable comprehension of the principles of plant 

 breeding already presented, any intelligent ama- 

 teur may undertake experiments in the further

 sults of the highest interest and of notable 

 economic importance.

 meat, the nectarine with its 

 smooth skin, the almond with 

 its delightful kernel, and the 

 stoneless plum with its un- 

 sheathed seed who will breed 

 these together and thus pro- 

 duce a unique and valuable 

 fruit-nut?
