I he self-pollinated set embraced 48 clusters containing 
699 flowers and represented 41 varieties. At the time the 
pollen was applied to the flowers of the other set, these 
clusters were examined and such flowers as then had dead 
pistils were removed, otherwise they were not disturbed 
until the count of June 6 was made.
