I have often tried to sliow that the rev <«*’ 
was the truth, as asserted hy our ntvh’Ut 
masters mi. I by nil reasoning mnl rmi»lMil

An i ■seny read before the 1 1 n ncoei ( mnl', 
Institute on this subject was given the 
honors of being republished In a circular 
Issue. I liy Mr. Newman, general riiannuer 
of the National Beekeeper*' Union, in 
which was also iiuoteil the opinion of (5 
31. Doolittle on the same subject. 
In the publication mentioned above, we 
see that Mr. Waite lias long wwnlc till* !ni- 
porlnnt subject a special study and ilie rr. 
|.orl glton Is a slimming up of all Ills > x 
perlnicQlH. This report serves to show IVi» 
all our previous assort Inn* of the mef'd- 
iie.-.s of the hmiey-Viee ore proven >WTV' l. 
one very Important point In this tv«pe. i 
u the assertion that many plants produce 
blossoms that are "sterile lo their own 
pollen. " Although this has been f.uuul out 
long ago, yet 1 hnvV never *wn it so Isold 
Iv put forwnnl. and 1 believe that Mr, 
Walle ha* good cause to assure u* of whip 
lie writes lie sins: "Some lifty .-r more 
species of plant* are already known io 
more or less completely fruitless. allh .lull 
the same plant* miiture fruit* an. I soul* 
when pollen from another plant m u-r-,| 
there t* a very strong tendency to aolf- 
't.iillry In the pear anil apple the ten- 
i lei iey varying In tin* different vm idle*." 
Thus It i* seen that these statement* 
not only prove u* right w hen we assert
