bi-sexual variety, or pollen bearer, is made 
to produce more by interplanting with 
Wm. Belt than if planted alone. 
The tendency then by interplanting with 
bi-sexual varieties among pistillate varieties 
is to facilitate the transfer of the pollen 
from the bi-sexual varieties, by the aid of 
wind, insects or other means, to the pistils 
of the pistillate varieties, and in this way 
fruit will be borne on plants that would 
otherwise be non-productive. 
This little discussion on pollination may 
help to explain why many beds planted to 
one variety alone have not borne fruit. 
SPREAD OF POLLEN 
When the flowers have opened and the 
pollen is ripe for the use of pollinating, 
there are several agencies that are active 
in the spreading of this yellowish dust, 
which is so important in the production of 
fruit. Among these agencies there are two 
that are very important: (1) Insects and 
(2) wind. 
The various insects are seen flitting from 
flower to flower, perhaps taking something 
from the flowers, as in the case of the honey
