Quality, Not Quantity. 



'"As an illustration, let us lake 

 Ailsa Crai},^ onion. A lioniu-jirown stock 

 of what 1 will call the bluest of blue 

 lilooil will jirobably show to fj;reat ilis- 

 udvanlaKe in a gciiniiiation test l)eside 

 a, sample of rou<;li-jj;rown C'aliforni.'Ui 

 stock, but fii-own to maturity, the 

 former would j)roduce grand liulbs of 

 rich ami even quality, true in all re- 

 s]Mits. and jjive capital weight for area. 

 The latter would likely enough have 

 lost character almost to the point of 

 baffling identification. Is it not in- 

 tinitely more satisfad nry to the cus- 

 tomer and creditable to the seedsman 

 to handle seed .as low as even fifty per 

 cent germination, but riuiit in (|uality, 

 than a ninety-eight ]iei- rent ~tock that 

 jircHJuiM's an inferior cro]*.'
