PARENTAGE OF VARIETIES. 
Comparatively few data appear to be available concerning the 
parentage of varieties, and in particular information is lacking as to 
what has served as either the seed or pollen parent of a given variety. 
Definite statements may be found indicating a direct wild origin for 
about 6 nigra, 50 americana, 7 hortulana, 3 munsoniana, and 15 
angustifolia varieties, and probably the actual number introduced 
from the wild is somewhat greater in each case. A large majority of 
the varieties have originated under cultivation, yet, as stated above, 
exact statements concerning the seed or pollen parents of many of 
them do not appear to be available. What seem to be reliable 
accounts concerning the origin of varieties show Cheney to be the 
seed parent of 1 variety; De Soto of 12; Forest Garden, 2; Gold 
Coin, 1; Hammer, 1; Harrison, 15; Hawkeye, 10; Iowa Beauty, 1; 
Lottie, 2; Miner, 8; Poole Pride, 1; Pottawattamie, 1; Purple 
Yosemite, 1; Quaker, 2; Robinson, 1; Rollingstone, 3; Sioux, 1; 
Surprise, 1; Van Buren, 9; Wayland, 2; Weaver, 3; Wild Goose, 26; 
and Wolf, 4. So far as known, these parent varieties, with four ex- 
ceptions, are of wild origin. These four exceptions are Hammer, 
which is a seedling of Miner; Hawkeye, a seedling of Quaker; Lottie,
