Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... taken from fruit grown on a graft on a tree, the future plant will depend largely on past history. A cross must be fixed by a long period of careful selection; a tomato, for instance, will require five years before a variety becomes permanently fixed in type. J. M. Smith--Is it possible to cross potatoes by planting tubers of different kinds in the same hill? I have heard it so stated but have never credited it.
