Last spring I was rather surprised 

 with the behavior of a young peach tree 

 on the grounds here. The variety is called 

 Anisden, and while the tree flowered well, 

 it did not set a single fruit. ( in investi- 

 gation it was found that there is no other 

 peach tree in the neighborhood, and all 

 the flowers of the tree in question proved 

 on examination to be what botanists 

 term proterandrous, that is, the anthers 

 ripen and shed their poller] long befoVe 

 the stigma of the pistil is ready for fertil- 

 ization, and thus fruits are impossible, 

 unless pollen from some other source 

 alights upon the reproductive organs at 

 tne proper time. But all the flowers of 

 this tree developed at about the same 

 time, and there was no pollen available 

 when it was needed. Udo Dammer.
