Mr. Parry in 1870, selected plants of Dorchester and Wilson Early, and planted them together, far away from any other to mix with, trusting that the pollen of one kind might perhaps intermix with the other. In 1875, he selected some of the best Wilson berries for seed. After watching the fruiting seedlings for four years the largest and best was selected, and this is Wilson Junior. One acre of plants yielded in 1884, 110½ bushels of fruit. Mr. Parry is now trying actual cross-fertilization, by cutting out stamens with a scissors before they mature, and using pollen from other kinds with a camel hair brush, and has numerous seedling plants raised in this way.
