            "text": "I have been successful in grafting the pawpaw, but find budding a failure. Like the persimmon, the paw-paw can not be successfully budded. Trees will have to attain to some size before they are grafted. I do not think that the small seedling can be indoor grafted like the apple or pear. I believe there is a grand future for the pawpaw and the persimmon. The apple, the pear, and the peach were none of them scarcely edible in a state of nature. It has taken centuries to attain the degree of excellence that they now have. But the pawpaw and the persimmon are found in a state of nature about equal to most of our cultivated fruits and far superior to many of them. I believe it is just as possible to make the same advancement with the pawpaw that has been made with any of our cultivated fruits. And just think of the wonderful results if that proves to be possible. One of the arguments is that in planting and raising seedlings, there is a great tendency to sport. No two seedlings will bear fruit alike. Some poor and some better than the original type. Nature is generous in giving us hints but we are slow to comprehend. By selecting trees that show improvement and then plant the seed from them, and if we can succeed in getting them out of their old habit and break up their wild nature, progression will be much faster. It a tree will simply reproduce itself from seed there is but slight hope of ever improving it."
