THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
vegetables and seeds before he became a variety origin¬ 
ator. Though the [)ractical results of his work have been 
exj)loited, magnified, distorted, and even caricatured by 
the press, they doubtless compare favorably with those 
of other less consjiicuous plant breeders; but his results, 
though great, seem to be of smaller consequence than his 
influence in awakening general interest in plant breeding. 
He has proved that plants unlike anything hitherto known 
can be originated, so his work has become an inspiration 
to countless amateurs who seek to follow in liis footsteps 
or blaze new trails for themselves. In this direction 
therefore lie the greatest rewards, not perhaps of money, 
but of interest and service in the growing of home garden 
fruits.
