STUDY OF WINTER NELIS FRUITS. 



71 



No crosses were made by liaud on tlie Heatlicote. The line series of 

 self-pollinated fruits led to the study of some of the fruits from flowers 

 exposed to insect visits. The differences between the crossed and the 

 self-pollinated fruits are similar to those in the Buffum, only not so pro- 

 nounced. The self-pollinated fruits were long- and slender, much like 

 the self-pollinated Buffums, and had no sound seeds; the exposed 

 fruits showed the effect of insect visits in their seeds, which varied from 

 two to Ave in number, and presented a rounder, fuller development.
