Complete Kit of Pollenizing Tools 



This shows all the apparatus required Jor the most elaborate series of ex- 

 periments in cross-fertilization. The scapel is used sometimes to cut 

 across unopened blossoms Jor example, apple blossoms in such a way 

 as to remove the pollen-bearing anthers all at once. Where the Jorm oj 

 the flower does not permit this, the pincers are used to pluck out the 

 stamens. The watch crystal is used to collect pollen, which is trans- 

 ferred to the stigma oj another flower either with the finger tip or with a 

 camel's hair brush. The other implements are required exceptionally 

 to manipulate a flower oj peculiar Jorm. The magnijying glasses are 

 needed only with very small flowers. The use oj the paper bags is 

 illustrated on page 81. The cardboard labels are to record the experiment.
