SEED-BEARING PUMPKIN 

 BLOSSOM 



This blossom is the mate of the one 

 next preceding. The stigma to receive 

 the pollen occupies the same position 

 that is occupied by the pollen-bearer in 

 the other flower. The bulbous growth 

 at the base of the flower is the ovary, or 

 seed case, which, if the flower is ferti- 

 lized, will develop into a pumpkin.
