The Accumulated Experience of Nearly 
A Hundred Years is at the Service 
of Greening’s Customers 
Greening Study of Plant Development 
Brings Practical, Profitable Results 
Thus the products of Greenins’s incorporate the accumulated experience and secrets of 
craftsmanship spanning nearly a hundred years. 
The Greenings have been thorough workmen, deep students of the secrets of nature. No 
task was too great; no time too long to discourage the Greening thirst for improvement in 
methods, varieties, ultimate fruits. The outcome has been the reward of the succeeding 
generation, if not the originator of the experiments launched. The experiments that succeeded, 
developed under close observation on Greening soil. And then these men knew definitely 
what they had wrought. 
Through these years of effort they enjoyed full cooperation of the United States Department 
of Agriculture, agricultural colleges, orchardists, recognized experiment stations, and indi¬ 
vidual horticulturists working more or less in the interests of pure science. 
The Greenings worked always toward practical improvement in standard varieties, apply¬ 
ing their findings in a prac¬ 
tical way, generation after 
generation, on a large scale, 
the average grower something

day practice, to his benefit and profit. 
“BUD SELECTION” PIONEERED 
More than a quarter of a century ago, the Greenings pioneered an 
undertaking that has proved so successful it has utterly 
revolutionized fruit growing and spread its beneficial 
influences into other branches than horticulture. 
That experiment was "BUD SELECTION, a subject 
to which the following chapter is devoted, in an ex¬ 
planation of the theory, an exposition of the method 
and a clear statement of facts that is a revelation 
to all who have not gone into the subject in a 
scientific way.
