Usage examples of gartner.

According to intelligence reports, one of the missing, a Diana Gartner, is an important witch among them.

Patting down his pockets, to make sure the infodisk on Gartner was there, he started off on his quest for a little privacy.

Ronnie had given him, he security-cleared and reviewed the Diana Gartner material once more.

His exaltation at finally getting a shot at Gartner again proved to be short-lived.

Before you detour Diana Gartner and her craft, you must either obtain a sample of this vector, or see to it that it is released into the atmosphere.

The lab techs would be bringing up the very materials he was after, for Diana Gartner herself to fly out!

The StarJet we sent for the vector, piloted by Diana Gartner and co-piloted by Brandi Easter, was attacked while on the ground.

It is impossible to study the several memoirs and works of those two conscientious and admirable observers, Kolreuter and Gartner, who almost devoted their lives to this subject, without being deeply impressed with the high generality of some degree of sterility.

But in these and in many other cases, Gartner is obliged carefully to count the seeds, in order to show that there is any degree of sterility.

Nearly all the plants experimentised on by Gartner were potted, and apparently were kept in a chamber in his house.

I think no better evidence of this can be required than that the two most experienced observers who have ever lived, namely, Kolreuter and Gartner, should have arrived at diametrically opposite conclusions in regard to the very same species.

I am strengthened in this conviction by a remarkable statement repeatedly made by Gartner, namely, that if even the less fertile hybrids be artificially fertilised with hybrid pollen of the same kind, their fertility, notwithstanding the frequent ill effects of manipulation, sometimes decidedly increases, and goes on increasing.

Moreover, whenever complicated experiments are in progress, so careful an observer as Gartner would have castrated his hybrids, and this would have insured in each generation a cross with the pollen from a distinct flower, either from the same plant or from another plant of the same hybrid nature.

He is as emphatic in his conclusion that some hybrids are perfectly fertile--as fertile as the pure parent-species--as are Kolreuter and Gartner that some degree of sterility between distinct species is a universal law of nature.

Had hybrids, when fairly treated, gone on decreasing in fertility in each successive generation, as Gartner believes to be the case, the fact would have been notorious to nurserymen.
