THE POLLINATION OF PEAR FLOWERS. 



similar to those iigarod, except two, l^os. 382o and 390G, these being 

 more nearly liive the self-pollinated type. As a class the crosses were 

 broader toward the blossom end and tapered more toward the stem, 

 and the stem end w^asnarrowerthan in the self pollinated frnit. No sonnd 

 seeds developed in the self-pollinated frnits, while very fine large seeds 

 were fonnd in the crosses. There seemed to be a very slight snperiority 

 m qnality of the self-pollinated pears. They were a little juicier and had 

 a more delicate flavor. This was constant in tlie self-pollinated fruits, 

 but variable in the crosses, none of which quite equaled the former, 

 though some were in apparently the same state of maturity.
