GERBEEA JAMESONI. 



By the application of a morsel of 

 science I had practically the monopoly 

 of the distribution of Gerbera Jamesoni 

 for some years, says a writer in the 

 Gardeners' Magazine. Seeds were dif- 

 ficult to get elsewhere, but I had a fair 

 supply each year, and distributed some- 

 times as many as fifty plants during the 

 season. The point was this. It is well 

 known in a certain department of botany 

 that the compositae are very frequently 

 self-sterile, i. e., the pollen is of no 

 effect on the plant that produced it. 

 Pollen must always come from another 

 individual, so that if you have one plant 

 only you cannot obtain seed, while if 

 you have two plants, you can get seed 

 on both. This is to be pointed out, be- 

 cause it applies equally to the hybrids, 

 which, in most cases, are true hybrids 

 as distinguished from crosses, and are 

 perfectly fertile. It is not well-known, 

 perhaps, that cinerarias, for instance, are 

 strictly self-sterile. Even seed growers, 

 I believe, are not always aware of this 

 fact.

Indianapolis, Ind. — A novel flower 

 show is planned for next fall by the 

 Civic Improvement Association. No pro- 

 fessional grower will be permitted to 

 participate in the prizes offered. Gar- 

 den varieties only will be exhibited. The 

 association will distribute 10,000 pack- 

 ages of seeds, especially among the 

 poorer population.
