C. H. Middleton
In discussing today the origin of our garden plants, C. H. Middleton will talk about the methods of raising new varieties of flowers, and describe how most of the beautiful flowers of the world have found their way into our gardens, and how they have since been developed and improved by plant breeders. Producing new garden hybrids by crossfertilising the popular flowers is a fascinating hobby for those who have time to devote to it, and there is still plenty of scope and possibilities of reward for the skilful and patient plant breeder.
