II WM ra . rtfSfiSp! ill rti s Tie' . IFfh Fl Hybrid Flowers Now Winning Garden Awards t;. k vv Here's a new term for the ama teur gardener to learn, if he would be up-to-dte in his hobby. It's "Fl hybrid." and if the plant breeder's prophecies come true, it will soon bo cs common in gardening con versation as D.D.T. and 2.4D are now. It means "first generation hy brid," and has become important because of the growing number of Fl hybrid varieties of both vege tables and flowers which are being offered by seedsmen. Petunia Sil ver Medal, top award winner in the All America trials for 1949, is an Fl hybrid. So is Petunia Pink Sen sation, last year's bronze medal winner. All hybrid corn varieties grown in this country are Fl hy brids, and there are tomatoes, cu cumbers, squash and egg plant va rieties cf this class. To produce an Fl hybrid you take two parents, each having merits which you wish to combine. The parents must belong to well-fixed strains, pure bred, and in the case of plants, inbred. When two such parents are crossed, the first gen eration seed will produce a crop which is uniform, combining the qualities of both parents, and en dowed with a mystic quality called "hybrid vigor," which makes it grow faster, stronger, larger and yield more vigorously than others. Eut beware of sowing the seed borne by an Fl hybrid plant, that is unless you are an experimenter, seeking something new. The sec ond generation will be as badly mixed as the first was uniform in size, shape and color. Breeders look for new varieties in the F2 hybrids, but they will usually be a disappointment to others. The originator of an Fl hybrid which proves to be popular, has a monopoly of the seed production, since it requires the inbred parent strains which he developed, and which others cannot duplicate. But there is nothing to prevent ether breeders from developing their own parents, and breeding their own Fl hybrids, which may win popu lar favor. That is what has taken place xHp .t . 1 1M s . Girl hand-pollinating plant to pro duce seed of Petunia Silver Medal. with breeders of hybrid corn, and may be expected to develop with Fl hybrid flowers and vegetables, much to the profit of gardeners in general. Breeding an Fl flower is costly business. In the illustration, the girl is seated before a petunia plant of an inbred variety chosen to be the seed bearing parent of Petunia Silver Medal. Every flower on this plant has had its petals trimmed, and the pollen-bearing organs re moved, so it cannot self-fertilize. In the girl's hand is a flower from the pollen parent, pulled eff the row behind her. With a small paint brush she takes pollen from this flower, then transfers it to the stig ma of a seed bearing flower cn the plant before her. This operation must be repeated thousands of times, to produce a seed crop of a true Fl hybrid. At post-war wages, it makes an expensive crop. frlmwood MRS. ".RACE PLYBOW, Correspond Miss Marion Pratt is attend ing the University of Nebraska this semester. Supt. Whittemore attended the meeting of the re-districting division group at Lincoln two days last week. Mrs. Whit temore taught his classes those two days. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pool en tertained a group of friends at evening dinner on Sunday, and for a later social time. Mrs. Nora Neihart Bain, who was in a hospital for some weeks is now able to be at her home in Grand Island, although she is not well as yet. Mr. Henry Oehlerking passed away Sunday afternoon after he had shoveled the snow from his sidewalks. He suffered a heart attack in his home. Obit uary later. The Woman's Society of Christian Service met at the Methodist church on Friday. Mrs. Wm. Cook gave the devo tions, the subject being "Prayer." The lesson was about Hawaii. Mrs. Parsell gave the first part using a map. These Islands are called "Paradise of the Pacific." Weather the year around is about the same. No heating systems usually needed. Opened to world in 1778 when Capt. James Cook discovered the islands. Mrs. Frank Buell told of the missions established there and later the churches. There are eleven W. S. C. S. groups there. The Susanna Wesley Home is an important project of our societies. After the business session the pro gram closed with a reading by Mrs. Plybon, "The Master is Coming." Earlier in the session Mrs. Eldon Mendenhall read the poem "Abou Ben Adam." Mrs. Whittemore was chairman of the social committee. At the home of Miss Florence Furst in Lincoln, on Friday night, the members of the Bry an Memorial class of which Miss Frances Arnold was a member, honored her with a pre-nuptial shower. We are glad to .write of hon ors received by people in our community.
