SEEDLING FRUITS, &C. 
“ That some seeds will produce the same 
fruit as the parent tree, is the result of natural 
fertilization from its own blossoms.”— Wat. C. 
Hampton in R. N. Y., Vol. 5 , p. 243 . 
An interesting subject, but one which ap¬ 
pears to be involved in much obscurity. “ The 
seeds of the same apple produce trees that bear 
different kinds of fruit, because they are fertil¬ 
ized by blossoms of different varieties.” This, 
I believe, is a fair inference from Mr. H.’s state¬ 
ments. How I do not intend to dispute this, 
but wish to state some difficulties, make inqui¬ 
ries, &c. , 
Take the seeds of an apple from an orchard 
containing many varieties. It is probable, (is 
it not certain ?) that all the trees raised from 
these seeds will bear different varieties of fruit; 
and also, that most, if not all, of these will be 
different from all those in the orchard from 
which the first apple was taken. (See "Apple 
trees, from seed,” Rural, page 383 , vol. 5 .)— 
Can this, if true, be explained according to Mr. 
H.’s theory ? Ought not a part of the fruit, at 
least, to be like that of the orchard ? 
Again—a bee is said to carry with him the 
pollen of the blossoms of one tree to those of 
another. Hence the seeds of the fruit of this 
latter tree must, according to Mr. H.’s theory, 
produce trees, the first of which will be like 
that from which the pollen was originally 
brought; B'ut is such the fact ? I do not know 
that this has been tried, but such a result is 
very doubtful; since, if this were true, the pro¬ 
duction of new varieties Would be a rare occur¬ 
rence. The doubt is strengthened by the fact, 
that the same kind of fruit is so seldom 
produced. 
Again—the number of styles in the apple is 
five, corresponding to the five “carpels,” or di¬ 
visions of the “ core,” while the number of seeds 
may vary from none to fifteen or twenty. Ac¬ 
cording to Mr. H.’s theory, it is inconceivable 
that the trees raised from the seeds of a single 
apple, whatever their number, should exhibit 
more than five different varieties of fruit, (equal 
to the number of styles,) unless we suppose one 
style to be fertilized by the pollen of several 
different blossoms at the same time ; each blos¬ 
som fertilizing only a part of the seeds in one 
carpel, and yet these seeds producing trees that 
will not necessarily bear the same kind of fruit 
as that by which the seeds were fertilized.— 
Should not all the seeds of the same carpel, at 
least, produce the same variety of fruit ? 
Again—it certainly appears probable that the 
blossoms of each tree are mostly fertilized by 
their own pollen, or at least by that of its own 
blossoms. Hence, according to Mr. H.’s theory, 
it would seem that most of the seeds of any 
tree would produce trees bearing the same kind 
of fruit with the parent tree. Such, however, is 
not claimed to be the case. 
The production of new varieties is doubtless 
the effect of an intermixture of pollen from the 
flowers of two or more trees. Hence their mul¬ 
tiplicity. 
From all these considerations, it appears to 
me more probable that, in consequence of long 
continued cultivation under different circum¬ 
stances, the original law of production has been 
completely annulled ; and that the present va¬ 
riety of production is either the effect of a new 
law, of which we are yet wholly ignorant, or, 
of no law at all. 
An interesting, and perhaps not wholly un¬ 
profitable experiment would be the attempt to 
settle this perplexing question. It might, I 
think, be done in the following manner :—Take 
the seeds of any apple, (natural fruit,) plant 
and cultivate them ; and when the trees come 
into bearing condition, let them not stand near 
each other, (the greater the distance between 
them the better,) or near any other apple tree, 
and compare their product. Then take one 
apple from one or each, of these trees, and pro¬ 
ceed in the same manner. This result would 
go far towards settling the question. The same 
experiment, or a similar one, would also tend 
to decide the question, whether, and how far, 
there is a tendency in fruits to return to their 
original character. This experiment would per¬ 
haps require a longer time, (a greater number 
•of “ generations” of trees,) but a less number of 
trees. j. l. h.

BULBOUS BOOTED FLOWEKS IN GLASSES. 
NTow is the time for selecting and putting 
Hyacinth bulbs in glasses for winter and early 
spring flowering ; and our lady friends will do 
well to select only plump, healthy, clean and 
large bulbs, free from signsof decay, being par¬ 
ticularly careful to throw aside all those having 
spots or blotches of 'mould, as such are almost 
sure to rot, and at best will not send up as good 
a flower stem as a perfectly healthy bulb will 
do. In purchasing glasses, select those made of 
dark glass, light#being unnatural, and always 
injurious to the roots; change the water, 
(which must be soft,) at least twice a week, 
and let the new water be about 70 deg. tem¬ 
perature, cold water chilling the spongioles, 
and checking the growth. By taking this 
course, you will have beautiful heads of 
flowers that will amply repay the care and 
attention bestowed upon them. When pots 
instead of glasses are used, which in our 
opinion, are always the best, the surface of 
the soil can be covered with fine green moss, 
the green leaves and stem shooting up through 
it. The compost, rich black loam or leaf mold, 
river or lake sand, and well roited manure, in 
nearly equal proportions .—Ohio Farmer.
