In spite of all the best planning and crossing them ac- cording to scientific principles it is only the occasional cross that pro- duces exceptional seedlings. Some of the best varieties do not have the power of transmitting their good qualities while others that have serious faults in themselves seem to transmit their best qualities to the seedlings. Here are a few varieties that have proven good parents. Apricot Glow, Emile Aubrun, Minuet, Pfitzer*s Triumph, Mrs. P. W. Sisson, Purple Glory, Picardy, Mrs. T. E. Langford, Com- mander Koehl, Gloriana, W. H. Phipps. I don't know much about hy- bridizing but I do not think I would cross two varieties from the same originator unless these varieties have already proven themselves as good parents.
