Balloon Berry Blossom 



Such a flower as this is rather troublesome for the 



pollenizer, as its cluster oj stamens must be removed, to make 



sure that self-fertilization does not occur. This may be effected with 



a small pair oj pincers. The operation is not difficult, but it 



requires time. Of course care must be taken not to 



injure the stigma, which is to be fertilized 



with pollen Jrom another flower.
