Because the cold waters make phlegmatic British oysters disinclined to spawn, thousands of yearling U. S. oysters are imported to British waters annually, planted in British beds. U. S. oysters will not procreate in British waters. Like eunuchs they fatten but remain sterile...
...dinner tables of U. S. oyster-lovers. Old shells and brush, to which oysters happily cling, can be strewn upon the breeding-beds. Twice must the oysters be trans planted: first to a growing bed in deeper water, where they will not be buried under new spawn, then to a finishing school in waters rich with food.

It is moreover, no guarantee of greatness in a nation that its people spawn promiscuously in order to provide greater opportunity for high-grade germ cells' meeting...
