PERFECT AND IMPERFECT BLOSSOMS 
Strawberry plants are divided into two general classes called perfect and imperfect, or stam- 
inate and pistillate. The perfect or staminate varieties have stamens, produce pollen and fertilize 
not only their own blooms, but those of the other class. The imperfect or pistillate sorts, as a rule 
have no stamens and produce no pollen, hence their blooms must be fertilized by staminates. 
'ERFECT BLOSSOM. 
IMPERFECT BLOSSOM. 
However, as a matter of fact, many of the so-called imperfect varieties have a few stamens and 
are able to pollenize themselves to some extent but not sufficiently to produce a full crop. In 
planting imperfect or pistillate kinds, every , third, fourth or fifth row should be set with some 
perfect or staminate variety. In our catalogue we mark the perfect sorts (P), and the imperfect (I).
