284 Self-Sterilif !j in Plums, Cherries, and Aj)2)les 



of these self-sterile kinds pollinisers must be planted; (3) that provided 

 that a variety produces plenty of pollen and flowers simultaneously with 

 the variety which it is intended to pollinate, any variety, at least of 

 plums and apples, will probably serve for this purpose, apart from the 

 special case of the Coe varieties of plums and their presumable co- 

 derivative, Jefferson. 



The paper by Stout published in this volume gives (p. 102) references 

 to the more important papers on the physiology of self-sterility. To 

 these may be added the following, relating for the most part to horti- 

 cultural observations made in this country.
