Above. The flowers of the J. H. Hale variety of peach appear to be 

 perfect. But the stamens contain only poor pollen useless in fertilization. 



Belowr. At left is shown a fin? fruit of the J. H. Hale peach, the result 

 of a proper cross-fertilization. At the right are several fruits of the same 

 age as one shown at the left. These are the undersized fruits of poor 

 flavor and with dead "kernels" ; they result when this peach is grown by 

 itself or in solid blocks.
