THE SUM OF HIS WORK 



but they were succinctly expressed in the text of 

 New Creations, and the diversities of forms among 

 second generation hybrids were illustrated by 

 photographs showing many types of hybrid black- 

 berry and raspberry canes and leaves. 



The diversity of second-generation hybrids was 

 illustrated by such other examples as the Phe- 

 nomenal Berry and two other hybrids listed in 

 the catalog under separate numbers and an- 

 nounced as of the same origin. 



But for that matter, the segregation and re- 

 combination of characters in the second genera- 

 tion, leading to endless diversity or variation, was 

 illustrated in the case of every new variety named 

 in the entire catalog, with the exception of the 

 Paradox and Royal Walnuts and the Primus 

 Berry, these alone being first-generation hybrids. 



Quotation has already been made as to the 

 "million kinds" of blackberry hybrids of the sec- 

 ond generation. It may be added that in the sup- 

 plement of 1894, a photograph was reproduced that 

 showed a "sample pile of brush twelve feet wide, 

 fourteen feet in height, and twenty-two feet long, 

 containing sixty-five thousand two- and three-year- 

 old hybrid seedling berry bushes (forty thousand 

 blackberry-raspberry hybrids and twenty-five 

 thousand Shaffer-Gregg hybrids) all dug with their 

 crop of ripening berries."
