Q. Please explain a “sport”. How obtainable? 
On patented varieties, what does it mean when 
they say ‘‘asexual reproduction not permitted.” 
Does this mean we can’t use seed or cross pollina- 
tion with the plant? Mrs. C.E.L., South Dakota. 
A. Funk and Wagnall’s New Practical Stan- 
dard yeas “SPORT, noun, An animal or 
plant, or one of its parts, that exhibits sudden and 
spontaneous variation from the normal type; a 
mutation.” To obtain one, suggest you apply to the 
Almighty. Asexual reproduction refers to pro- 
pagation by leaf cuttings or crown division,—on a 
commercial basis, of course. Since seed pollina- 
tion is sexual propagation, rather than asexual, it 
is not forbidden by law. 
Best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
