Blossom of the Loquat 
Mr. Burbank has found the loquat always perfectly self- 
fertile. But it is easy to cross, and no doubt improvement will 
come about through crossbreeding with varieties grown in different 
regions. In Mr. Burbank’s experience the plant yields rather 
readily to efforts for its improvement. It is well worth 
the attention of any one living in a region 
where it can be grown—notably 
the Gulf states.
