The Blossom oj the Walnut 



The walnut, like many other trees, is a wind loving plant 



and depends upon the swish o] its branches in the breezes and 



the breezes themselves to carry its pollen Jrom limb to limb and 



tree to tree. The direct color photograph print shown here is 



that of the pistillate, or pollen-receptive blossom oj the 



walnut tree, upon whose slightly sticky surface the 



flying pollen finds lodgment, its grains jer- 



tuizing the seed, combining with it 



to produce a crop of walnuts.
