"The varieties of apples are more in- 

 clined to be sterile to their own pollen 

 than the pears. With the former, in the 

 great majority of cases, no fruit resulted 

 from self-pollination. The results, as a 

 rule, however, were less clear-cut than 

 in the pear, because, with most of the 

 self-sterile varieties, an occasional fruit 

 will set under self-pollination, and none 

 of- the varieties were very completely 

 self-fertile." — Waite. 



Otlier Fruits 



"The quince seems to fruit nearly as 

 well with its own pollen as with that of 

 another variety." — Waite. 



Many of the native plums are notori- 

 ously self-sterile, particularly Wild Goose. 

 Other self-sterile varieties are Miner, 

 Wazata, Minnetonka, Itaska. Varieties 

 more or less self-fertile are Moreman, 

 Newman, Wayland, Golden Beauty, Mari- 

 anna. Deep Creek, Purple Yosemite. 



Strawberries often lack stamens alto- 

 gether, whilst others, like Crescent, have 

 so few and so poor stamens that they 

 are practically self-sterile. Ordinarily, 

 there should be a row of a perfect- 

 flowered variety for every two rows of 

 a pistillate or infertile variety.
