The union is a rapid one and some timebefore the cotyledons decay. It is well known that many seedling roses on their own roots pro-duce flowers before the cotyledons decay, but the flowers are neces-sarily small and have little to indicate their eventual value. Theseedling-inarch system shortens very considerably the period betweengermination and the production of flowers of maximum size—amaterial aid to the breeder in determining the value of the seedlingwithin a few months after germination (fig. 4).
