When all the berries were ripe and the scale of each number footed up we were able to determine definitely which plant possessed the great- est number of points of excellence and this was then selected to become the mother plant of all that variety on the farm. Its runners were carefully potted and transferred to a special propagating bed and given extra good culture to stimulate further good qualities in the runners which were allowed to form for our next year's planting. From these, selections were made the next year for the ideal "mother plant" and thus through all these years the Pedigree shows parentage of the best individual plant on the farm of that year kept in full fruiting vigor by restriction. By this method every plant which declined in fruiting vigor or from any other cause was at once discarded. The result of this practice under my system of the most thorough tillage was that the fruit on each plant rapidly improved in quality and quantity. At the beginning my crops averaged 75 to 100 bushels to the acre of commonly good fruit but under this method the yield rapidly increased until it reached from
