Abstract
OF cultural books on gardening and farming there are plenty, and the enthusiast is well provided for, whether his hobby be the growing of vegetables, sweet peas, roses, or choice flowers from seed. But the art of raising new and improved varieties of plants, and the successful production of commercial seed, are subjects upon which comparatively little literature has ever been published, and the vast majority of those who grow or handle flowers or vegetables have little, if any, idea of how the different types and varieties originated, or how seeds of them are produced true to type.
Seed Production and Marketing.
