Although the cross pro- clued good fruit he said he never succeeded in obtaining a finished un- ion of the pear and apple, He had a theory that the juiciest fruit was to be found growing close to the ground, and his apple trees, because of his 'methods of pruning and cultural, re- sembled bushes more than trees. Although Mr. Holloway tried to re- tire, forty years ago, he was in con- stant demand as an adviser in horti- cultural problems, Many colleges and agricultural schools regularly sent him branches, leaves or fruit for his opin- ion on the ancestry and the success of crosses.
