162. Wilding, E. H. Hybridization; the elimination of foreign interference. Rhododen- 

 dron Soc. Notes 2 : 48. 1920 fl921]. — To eliminate the possibility of the introduction through 

 insect agency of other pollen than that applied artificially, the floral envelope together with the 

 stamens is removed when about half developed. The pistils deprived of the corolla were 

 not visited by insects and only those developed seed capsules which were fertilized artificially. 

 In 1 case 200 flowers were treated, of which 50 were fertilized artificially; of the latter 43 set 

 seed capsules, while of the 150 not artificially fertilized, not one developed into a seed capsule. —
