Section III 
/ HYBRIDIST’S LIST OF FAMOUS PARENTS 
Many of these would be listed among the winners if they were more widely 
known and exhibited. Many others have a long list of winnings to their 
credit, but are now replaced on the show bench by their progeny. Genetically 
these varieties may be of great value by providing short cuts to desired quali- 
ties thru back-crossing and inbreeding. Most of them are still producing fine 
varieties thru the usual method of outcrossing. NOTE: Back-crossing is 
crossing the progeny with some ancestor. Inbreeding is the crossing of brother 
and sister or the progeny with its immediate parent, and outcrossing is the 
crossing of individuals not closely related.
