The orchards at the Michigan Agricultural College in which this experiment was made are in three plots. One, a pear orchard, is on the west and north slope of a hill. near the west entrance to the College campus, Another, the old apple orchard, is east of the horticul- tural laboratory and experimental plots. The other, the young Orchard, is south and east of the old orchard and is much the largest of the three, The pear orchard is about forty feet at its freatest elevation above the Red Cedar river which runs along the south side of it. The soil here is a stiff clay loam with a clay subs0il, and has b-en under good culti- vation since the orchard was planted. This was done by Dr. Beal in the early days of the Collere. Of the Original number of trees sixty-seven are now standing the others having been replaced by young trees as individ- ual trees died out. The old trees are in a fair condi- tion of thrift, though badly mutilated from the effects of blignt. They are twenty to thirty feet high and bear a@ fair crop of fruit each year. The chief varieties are Bartlett,. Louise. Bonne, Flemish Beauty, Winter WNelis Grey and White Doyenne and Lawson, The old apple orchard was set by President Williams (Pres. of M. A. G.) in 1857--8 and 9, It originally contained three hundred trees nearly 50% of which have died or been removed to make room for other things. The land is nearly level about 35 ft. above the river and is composed of a light sand loam with a quick sandy subsoil, Trees are set 33 ft. x 33 ft., average height 20 ft. They are in fairly good condition though troubled with apple scab. Northern Spy and Greening are the predominent varieties though many other varieties are represented. The young orchard has about the same elevation and soil conditions as the old apple orchard. It consists of about 1000 apple trees, 160 pear and 100 plums. This orchard was designed as a variety test and holds first place for having the largest number of varieties of apples of any orchard in the world. Trees are set 16 ft. X 16 ft. and range in size from setting, up to trees Of eight inch trunk, Owing to the great number of varieties, there is a preat diversity in condition of trees, some are smooth, symetrical ard healthy while Others are badly effected with sun-scald and apple-scab and others are deformed by the heavy southwest wind. Among the plums the American and Japanese types are iargely represented for the purposes of experiment as are also the Russian and Japanese varieties among the pears. Weather Conditions Spring of 1901, By O. L. Ayrs. The weather conditions during the flowering season Of pears and apples were not such as would favor the best conditions for the setting of fruit. The entire month of May was quite ccol with frequent rains. While the government thermometer at no time registered as low as 32° but light frosts were observed several times on the Jowlands near the College, The first open pear blossoms were Obesrved May 3 and the apples were about a week later, Beginning, May 7th there were five days in which ijt rained during some portion of the twenty-four hours with one day, May 10th, intervening when there was no rain. This care at a tine when the flowers most needed bright warm weather. The petals did not ail fall until about May 25th so that it will he seen that the flowering period extended over about twice the time it would under favorable conditions, The following table copied from the official weather records, will show what the prevailing conditions were, It extends over a period of thirty-seven days beginning April 25th and closing May 3lst. The table gives the tempefature at three times each day and the mean maximum and minimum temperature.

The first impetuous to the importance of cross- pollination in plants was given by Darwin when he publish- ed his "Orirfin of Species" in 1659, But long befote this time cross-pollination was known, In 1793 Sorengel, a German, published a book, which showed the essential part plaved by insects in pollinating flowers. He also Observed that in certain plants cross-pollination neces- sarily took place. Andrew Knight in the early years of the present century remarked that sexual intercourse between neighborning plants of the same species was intended by nature. The same law was hinted at by Kolrenter in 1811 and by a few others later. But it re- mained for Darwin to show the importance of the observa- tions of Sprengel. Although Darwin presented this important question to the reading world in 1859 yet no general interest was aroused until 1862 when he eave the public his work on, Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilized by Insects." He says "Nature thus tells us in the most emphatic manner that she abhors perpetual self-fertilization." In 1876 Darwin had published his book entitled,"Cross and Self-fertilization in the Vegetable Kingdom," Darwin's exhaustive experiments as given in this work show the value of crossing plants. ~-§--- In his Variation of Plants and Animals under Domestication, he demonstrates some important laws which are now universily accepted by naturalists. They are briefly stated by Waite as follows:- l. Nature abhors perpetual self-fertilization. 2. Continued self-fertilization is injurious result- ing in inferior and less fertile offspring. 5. Cross-fertilization is necessary for the produc- tion of healthy seedlings. 4. Plants are endlessly modified to secure this end. Darwin, thus having opened the door to this great field of labor is followed by a number of investigators. The first amony these was Waite of the United States Department of Agriculture. He experimented with pears. Among several conclusions warranted by evidence brought forth in his work, two conclusions have direct bearing On the question with which this thesis has to deal, They are, 1. Many of the common varieties of pears require cross-pollination, being partially or wholly incapable of setting fruit when limited to their own pollen. 2. Some varieties are capable of self-fertilization. This discovery threw rays of light on many incidents where orchards with only one variety often bore but little Or no fruit. Other prominent horticulturalists immediately took up the work and extended it to other fruits. In 1896 Wangh of Vermont experimented with plums. Out of fourteen varieties he found eight that set fruit, but five of these had fruit that was very weak. He concluded, trat for all practical purposes plums should be considered self-sterile. For six years S. A. Beach of Geneva, Wew York, carried on a series of experiments with grapes. He began in 1892, One hundred and sixtyenine varieties were included in his investigations. He aiso worked with the same variety in different localities and as above indicated at different seasons. Mr. Reach classified the varieties with which he worked acccrding to self-fertility. Class I. contained thirty-cight varieties. It consisted of those producing clusters varying from perfect to somewhat loose. Class II. contained sixty-six varieties. It con- sisted of those having moderately compact or loose clusters, Class III. contained twenty-eifht varieties. This class consisted of those clusters that were unmarketable. Class IV. contained thirty-six varieties. The grapes in this class are self-sterile. In 1899 Mr. Reach worked on the fertilization of the self-sterile grapes, and received some good results, Mr. Chas. 8S. Crandall of Colorado worked with plums in 1898, Six hundred and twenty-nine flowers representing forty-two varieties were self-pollenated by hand. All foreign pollen Was kept away by use of paper bags. These flowers produced six fruits. Six hundred and ninety-nine --8.. flowers of the seme varieties, isolated from other pollen by paper bars, produced seven fruits. The conclusion was "that infertility did not lie in the failure of the stigmas to receive poliien, but must te locked fcr in an inherent antipathy which the plant has for its own pollen , Or in some ocutside influences, Amonr other writers and experimenters alony; the line of self-fertility, are Goff, Craig, Kerr, Heideran and Fletcher on orchard fruits; end Berle, Mumscn, Whitten aid Greene On grapes, The field is open and many of our best horticulturali- sts have been working therein; yet there is much work to be dcne on this important subject. Apples have received little or no attention and many varieties of all the fruits need to be tested in different localities. Obiect of this work, The ot ject of tris work was to determine fhe derree of fertility of the ccermon varieties of epples and pears in the vicinity of the Michigan Agricultural Collece. Methods of Werk, By Mm. A. Crosbv. In carryins out this experiment to determine which of the nur.erous veéerleties of apples and pears represented in the eccllere orchards are self-fertile also those which are selfsterile, the foliowing plan of work was foliiowed. Before the clusters of flower buds were far enough advanced dr. srowth to demand any special attention the labels, sacks, note hooks, and in fact all the materi- als needed in carrying on the work, were put in reediness for irmediate use so that no unnecessary time would he consumed when the proper moment arrived to begin the werk in the field, The labels used were the common shipring tags, each one marked with a number end fitted with a firm copper wire which served the double purpose of attaching it to the sack and alse to close the moutn of the Lutter when placed over the cluster of fruit buds. The secks used were the manillc paper rags such as ere commonly us~-d hy crocers, These were in different sizes to accomnodate the different sized clusters of blcssoms Cm) ct y and ranged from tvielve to eicshteen inches in len ° Upon an averaze at least two trees of each variety a Ne res t ” 4 were selected for the experiment. With some veriet however, cnly cone tree could be found bearing blossoris While in others three or fcur trees were worked upon, As soon @&s the earliest tlocsoms heran to show the White of their petals, the work cf putting the paner bags over the clusters of blossoms, to keep them frem réceiving; the pollen frcm anv otherveriety, was berun. Upon each tree selected for the experiment several smail pranches, eech bearing several clusters or flower buds, were covered with the paper bags tre mouths of which were then clcs wa D lv shut erd pound with the wire to which was attached one of the numbered tags. When it was possible each variety had from twenty to twenty-five sacks used upon it and in each case the sacks were distributed over all parts cof the tree as well as the distribution or the clusters cP fruit buds would permit, and each sack was made to include as rany clusters as possitle. The name and location oF each tree, the number of sacks used, énd the number on each tag attached, were ail carefully recorded in the worker's note hook. Great percautions were tazen not to enclose insects of any kind ir the sacks and in no cape was &@ cluster of flower. buds used when any blossom was so far advanced as to have the sticma expcsed. The counting bervan three weeks after the droyring of the blossoms. In working thre count the sacks were carefully removed and the number or healthy fruits, aisc the number of tlossoms which failed to set fruit, were determined. Next the general fruitfulness of the unccovere ed blossoms was determined by taking at random several clusters of the same cheracter as these which were covered, and ccunting in the same manner as for the covered blossoms. When healthy fruits were found under tne sacks the tags were left on the limb so that the develop- ment cf the fruit might be noted, Nescription of Anthers and Pollen. B, Werrmuth. The anther is one of the essential parts of the flower, Within it wails is found the pollen which fertilizes the ovules, they in turn becoming perfect seeds, The anther of the apple is attached tc a hairy clubshaned filarernt. This attachment is nearly versatile i, e. the anther is fixed to the very point cof the fila- ment and is fastened near its middle. The stamen cften has a redish tint before the flower opensup, but is yellow afterward and remains so until the poilen is shed. Wren vouny this organ has four cells-~two in each lobe. This can be understood perhaps by noticing the right hand lobe of cross-section (A) of the anther in the drawing. Soon the tissue between these two larger cells is reduced tc pollen, or otnerwise changed and the two cells become one, as seen in the left lobe of cross- section (A). As the walls of the anther begin losing moisture by exposure they hreak along each lobe at (c) and turn backward, This expcses the inside of the two cells and the pollen they contain is in a position to he transferred of other flowers, Polien. Within the lobes above mentioned is found the pollen of the apple--a fine vellow dust that will adhere to the --13-- Finger if touched. This dust is the result of the breax- ing up of tissue cells within said lores. Fach cf these "mother cells", as they are cailed, divides into two "daughter cells" and these in turn divide into two mcre; thus making four cells from the one parent cell. These new cells have a cell wall formed about them. It then is called a pollen grain. The cell wail of the parent cell changes into a viscid material which lies between the crains of pollen. It is this material that causes the pollen to adhere to other objects. The bee coming in contact with this yellow dust has his body more or less ccvered with it, and then, when he visits another flower, some of this pollen is left on its stigma; thus, incidentally cross-pollenizing while he gathers the sweet necfar. In the drawing the alape of the polJen grains are shown. When Locked at under & compound microscope they appear very much like a kernel cf wheat, except the ends are more symmetrical. (a) in the drawing of the pollen, is an end view of one of the grains. It shows three lobes which run lenrthwise of the poilen cell. These grains of pollen correspond in the apyrle to the male parent amon; animals, and its influence upon the offspring 1s equally great in both cases. ~o1 4a. Field Work. The follcewing questions regarding, pollen were studied in the field. 1. Does cultivation effect the amcunt of poilen in arple blossoms? —. Noes cultivation efrect the time pollen is readv for distribution in arples? 5. Does cultivation efiect the length of time arple varieties have available pollen? 4. Do the anthers on a sinele apple blossom ret ready to distribute their pollen simeltaneously or alternately? 5. Does spraying effect the anthers and poilen if the spray is applied when trees are in bloom? Material used in the study. Four trees were used in rmost of the study. They were all of the same variety--Femuse. Two were located in the old cclleéere orchard and were about years old, The others were about eight yeats old and located in an cpen field north of the collerfe, A compound microscope to examine the pollen, tags to riark the examined flowers. A spraying pump, and the spraying mixtures as well as other incidential necessities were at hand to carrv Out the work, ae, tea Difficulties. The work was done out of doors making the conditions uncontrollable and therefore making possible different results than what might be obtained under more normal conditions. There were two storms and two frosts during the time of cbservations which to a greater or less extent effected the normal development of the flowers. That the weather may be understood in detail the meteor- Ological report for the month of May will here be inserted. omy We w Ww tr Day ‘Temperature?

The trees as described apove came the nearest to what was wanted, yet I feel that there is some possibility of errors because of the difference in age. Tnis work having been carried on only one season causes the writer to remark that the results should not be given the confidence it would command if a series o7 years were considered. Also that tne work regarding the effects of cuitivation has teen restricted mestly to One variety makiny it possible that different results might be obtained from other varieties. With these considerations we will take up the questions asked above. 1. Does cultivation effect tne amount of poilen in epples? Cultivation is here used in its btreadest sense, 1. e. including spraying, pruning, etc., as well as the tillase. (From my observations I must answer this question in the affirmative, but there is ground for difference of opinions.) One hundred anthers from each of seven varieties were taken under as nearly equal conditions as possible and weighed on balances, also che average number of stamens and the lem:th of ten stamens.

I. Greening L090 20 Pyrus Malus 0670 366.0 20 From this tabie it will be seen that each of the cultivated varieties surpasses the Pyrus Malus in weignt of the anthers, The cultivated varieties averaging cver 0920 for the one hundred anthers, or more than one third more than does the fyrus Malus. One would quickly conclude by simply observing the anthers of the wild and tre cuitivated flowers that the latter were much the larger, as the abcve figures indicate. But as we glance at the next column we notice that the increase in the size of the pollen grains corresponds more or less closely with this increase of the anthers in size. There is a single exception to this in the above table. The Autumn Strawberry measuring less than the Wild Pyrus Malus. But taking the averaze of those examined it seems that cuitivaticn has increased the size of the pollen grains and of the anthers buf has not noticeably increased their numhers, But there is ancther phase to this question. Culti- vation in its broadest sense includes spraying, prunning, etc. One or the uncultivated Femuse trees had abundant Aphis (Apnis Mali Fabr) before and during the blossoming period. These Aphis were allowed to remain and it was found that the number cof perfect anthers were very much decreased on the tree in question. The following figures will give the comparison of the number of perfect antners on the trees with the Aphis and those witn none. Imperfect No. of flowers. Per.Flowers. anthers. Tree with Aphis 100 34 244 Tree without Aphis 100 49 150 A great number of these flowers were counted and the above figures are the average amounts Of flowers having all the anthers perfect and of the number of defective anthers. The Aphis may not be the cause of these imper- fect anthers, but that was the only way the writer could account for their deficiency. Other trees under the same conditions and in the immediate vicinity but have far less Aphis thereon, were not so affected. If then, spraying will destroy the Aphis, or any otner insects or fungus that may affect the anthers or pollen, and if spraying is considered a phase of cultivation, then we may sey that cultivation may under these local conditions make possible a larger amount of serviceavie pollen, II, Does cultivation effect the time pollen is ready for distripution? The four trees above mentioned were watcned very -~-]9-- closely and the date of the first appearance of pollen on them was noted, SKach of the cultivated trees had pollen ready for distribution on May 4th while the uncultivated ones did not show the first pollen until May 7th. This is a result of observations for only one season and should not be given the weight that a series Of such Observations would command. But it indicates that cultivation has eftected the time in which pollen is ready for @adistribution in the Femuse variety. III. Does cultivation effect the length of time avariety has available pollen? Several flowers on the cultivated and uncultivated trees were marked with tags. Upon these tages were placed the dates when each flower had its first pollen ready for distribution. The marked flowers were then carefully watched until all the anthers had shed their pollen. The cultivated flowers had a range from six tx nine days; the majority having exhausted their supply by the eightn day. The uneultivated flowers ranged from six to eishtdays; the majority being without pollen on the seventh day. These observations indicate that with the Femuse apples the time available pollen is present is prolonged by cultivation, IV. Do anthers on a single flower get read: to distribute pollen simelteaneously or alternately? sn Boe Flowers were marked by tags in the same manner, as with the preceeding question. In fact these flowers were used to extend the observations on this question. Also unmarked flowers were examined to find if possible any flowers that had all anthers with pollen ready for distribution at the same time. The results of these pbservations were as follwos. At the end of the first day from four to six anthers would have pollen ready, Then each following day would add to this number from one to three more anthers with its poilen ready to be carried off by insects. But at the end of the third, often the second day, the first anther would begin to degenerate and thus decrease the possibility of all anthers being ready with their pollen at the same time. The average number of anthers ready at the same time was four. During my observations I was unable to find a single flower with pollen ready on all its anthers simeltaneously. Pyrus malus, Crab, Femuse, Maidenblush, Talman Sweet, and several other varieties wnose names I did not record, were examined in these observations. V. Does spraying effect the pollen and anthers if the spray is applied when the trees are in bloom? A number of flowers were marked on each of two trees with tags as in III and IV. To one of these trees was applied a thorough spray of normal Bordeaus mixture by ~~2]-- means of an air pressure Knapsack pump. To the other was applied a spray of arsenite (Paris Green); using the proportions of 1# Paris Green to 150 gallons of water, The spraying was very thoroughly done leaving none Of the flowers without a film of the mixture thereon. The flowers were then watched and corpeared with unsprayed flowers on the same tree, and it was found that neither of the sprays affected the pollen, or anthers to which they were applied. I trust that this will not be con- strued to mean that spraying does no harm to tne apple grower when used as the trees are in bloom, for there are other cOnsiderations to be taken into account than the effect on pollen. But experiments have shown that spraying during blooming season has little or none of the harmful effects once attributed to it. Conclusions, J.

By O. L. Ayrs. The blosscms cf apples and pears are cf an entomorph- iloas character but it has never been determined whether wind pollination was pcssitle or not. M. B. Wait of the Department of Agricuiture at Washington states tnat the nature of the polien is sucn tnat it will not be carried by the wind. Professor L,. H. Railey of Cornell says in Geneva bulletin No. 196 that certain orchards which he work in during the blossoming season of 1900 bore food crops while tne weather ccnditions were such that bees did not work for ten days and the wind is probably a factor in cross pollination. It was decided that inconnection with other work On pollination and fertility of the apple and pear, which was being carried on at the Coliege, a careful study of the pollen of these fruits and its behavior would be made. The structure of the flower of the apple and pear is the same only varying slightly in the form and size of tne parts. When the flower opens under normal cone Gitions the pistils are extended from an eighth to a quarter cor an inch beyond the stamens which are curved inward, tne cluster fcrming a ring or ccllar @round the pistil, As the stamens develop they straighten cut drawing their anthers past the stismas of the pistils but the anihers are seldom or never rinened until the filiments ~y have straightened cut. When fully grown tne stamens vary in length some bein;s, longer than the pistils, others approximately the same ler;th and still]. otners somewhat shorter than the pistils. This condition of the flower would make it possible fcr the anthers to come in contact with the pistils and deposit some cf their pollen upon the stigmatic surface cf the pistil. In this wey the production of fruit without the aid of insects might tLe acccunted for in varieties which are self-frertile. An examination of the pollen with a microsccre shows the granuels to have an cily or gluccse like covering whicn maxes them adhere to any surface that they toucn and prevent their being easily jarred or blown off. After studying the structure of the flover and the pollen, I began experimenting to see if wind would locsen polien from the flowers cr carry it about after it nad separated from the anthers, I placedthree specimens cf pear blossoms and seven of epples upon sheets of paper. A careful examination of them after twenty-four hours showed that no pollen had fallen from the stamens but @ slignt jar caused a quentity of polien to fall upon the paper. This dry pollen cculd be blown about upon the surface of the paper but cculd not be blown into the air as the pollen cf anemophilous flowers can. I then selected blOssQms from twelve varieties of apples and two varieties of pears. These I placed in bottles partly fijjed With water and turned upon their sices, the flowers projecting cover sreets of paper to catch any pollen that td might fail. Under these conditions the flowers ri}enea their poljen tne sime as they would upon the tree. The blossoms were kept in this condition until all of the anthers had ripened their pollen and the petals had begun to fall from the flowers, During this time they were carefully observed from day to day. At no time did any pollen fall from any of the ripened anthers nor could amy be blown from them by blowing, acress them with varying force. By brushing the hand lightly over the ripened antners potlen could te jarred off onto the paper. After it had fallen on the paper, it could be blown about over tre paper but could not be blown into the air. While these experiments would not be absolute procf that wind pollination is impossible, the results ail indicate that the wind has very little or no effect upon the pojlination cf arples and pears. It is quite probable that wind pollination of these fruits seldom or never takes place, --O7-- Are Some Trees Mcre Attractive to Insects than are Otners? By L e D e Rudclph e Tre scientific horticulturist or today is branching out from the trodden paths of his cailing and investigating facts and principles which have been neglected in the past. The ultimate cbject of every practical horticulturist is to secure the largest and best crops possible and sharp competition has made a thorough knowledge of Sundanental Processes an essentiai to the greatest success. From its botanical position no process is more closely or vitally concerned with the harvest than is the process of fertil- ization. By various devices nature has made self-fertil- ization fcr some varieties easy, for some difficult and for many an utter impossibility. To be more accurate a lars percent of our apples are self-fertilizing. All tne rest depend in the process upon insects. Now, not only as a recompense for this service but in oreder to secure it, these varieties of fruits must furnish themselves with something to attract tre little workers, Grant the insect to be a free moral agent with respect to his choice of a base of operation (a concession which can hardly be denied), and it follows that he will devote most of his time to those varieties which offer the greatest attracticn to him. Here arise two questions; do self-fertilizing ~~86-- varieties wnich need no assistance from the insect, still offer him asgreat aitractions as varieties which depend for their very existance upon winning his favor; and, among; tne latter, do certain varieties offer greater inducements than others, and if so what are those induce~ nents? In investigating these questions I have made use of the old apple orchard at this coilege in the belief that there would be less individual variation in blooming among mature trees than among younger ones, hence a better representation of the floral type of each variety. Whatever power of attraction a variety has, must spring from the possession of one or all of the following qualities, viz., cOnspicuousness Of single blossom, frag- rance, and fulness of bloom of tree, The sum of these qualities vested in a variety determine its degree of attractiveness. I have selected well known varieties and have arranged them in two ranks according to their attractiveness. In determining relative conspicuousness several hlossoms of each variety were carefully measured and the average width taken. The color of the flower was also considered, In determining comparative fragrance I depended upon the sense Of smell, while fuiness of bloom was readily determined by inspection, After making these determinations satisfactorily there yet remained the equally important matter cf finding ~229-- the number of insects which visited each variety. This was done by climbing to a point of vantage within the tree and ccunting &i1 insects seen for a space of five minutes time, upon two different days. In the follcwing table the varieties are divided into two divisions, rank 1, those receiving most visits from insects, and rank 2, which received fewer visits. The table also sncws the degree of attractiveness as de= termined by measurements ard comparisons, of the same varieties. In this last determination it was difficult to secure definite results for while a variety might excel in width and beauty of blossom, it might at the same time lack in fragrance, or not be in full blcom. Great care was taken, however, and in every case the variety in the first rank of attractiveness was in the first rank in number Of visiting insects, and in view Of this fact, we are justified in concluding that varieties do ditfer in their attractiveness to insects and that the most attractive varieties receive the most attention from then. With regard to the question as to whether self-fer- tilizing varieties are more or less attractive than other varieties, the writer could not find the least distinction. This, however, is not a case Of poor logic in nature for in Bulletin No. 5, Div. of Veg. Path Washington, Mr. M. B. Waite, its author, clearly demonstrates that altnough ~-ZQo- the flowers cf @ variety may be sel-fertile yet unless they receive pollen fre: another flower the resulting fruit will he of inferior quality.

K, Wonders. The number Of varieties cf apples and pears which today are orfered for sale by the nursery men has assumed large proportions. It has been estimated that the nursery men have for saie over eifht hundred varieties of apples and almost as many pears. With the steady increase Of varieties it becomes Obvious that if we wish tc be able to name a variety with certianty we must use all the facilities we have in the making of our systematic descriptions. Owing to this great multiplicity of varieties and also to the close similarity of the varieties of the individual types it has become necessary in descriptions to give the closest attention to all the distinct characteristics that are associated with the two above mentioned fruits. Contrary to the early teachings of the nursery men we have learned by experience that the characteristics of plants differ whenever the plants are grown in unlike conditions. Therefore in making our descriptions we must keep in mind the fact, especially when we are dealing With plants under cultivation, that a variety which is grown in one locality is not likely to correspond in all. particulars to the same orisinated variety which has been transplanted to another locality. In more concis= ~-30-- terms, we can never hope to find characteristics which will exactly fit the same veriety when it is grown under differing conditions. We must see, therefore, that exact descriptions only can be fitted top those varieties whose environments exactly correspond. The apples and pears which I have studied are located in Michigan in the central part of the lower peninsula. It is not likely that the descrip- tion which I will give will fit the varieties which are grown in other states. At present the form of growth, the color of shoots, the leaf huds, tne leaf and the fruit characteristics are the only attributes which the descriter of fruits takes into consideration, It is often the case that during a course of years @ variety in a certain locality will lose many of its individual characteristics, Because of this fact any new factors which can reasonably be used in describing @ variety will be of substantial value. At the present time the flowers of neither the apple nor the flowers of the pear are considered in tne descrip- tion of a variety. If the flowers of the two fruits are considered in connection with the description of the fruit and tree characteristics, the likelihood of error in naming will be materially lessened. It is for this reason that I advocate the flower as an aid in the dist- inguishing, of the fruits under consideration, Zz To describe the fruit by the flower alone would be en impossibility. Especially would this be so in the case of the pears. The apple has a few strong character= istics in its varieties while the points in the pear flower are weak. The pear flower varies preceptibly only in size. It is by combining the methods now comonly used with the characteristics which the flower has that the describing of a variety will be made much easier, To show how the present method of description is likely to mislead the descritrei’ of varieties it will be well to point out a few of its weaknesses. In considering the growtn of a tree, shoots may be errect as in the Farly Strawberry, spreading as in the Rhode Island Greening, drocping as when branches fail below horizontal, ascending as in Gravenstein or irregular as in the Black Gilliflower. Again shoots may be straight or flexible, stout or slender. Although many times the above individual characteristics may be of value and certainly are of great value in descriptions, it is not always the case that they can be depended upon. This is not because varieties under uniform condi- tions do not have permanent characteristics but it is because a variety will vary when it is given better cultural treatment or when its cultural treatment is neglected. For instance a fast growing tree is quite likely to grow much slimmer in proportion to its height than a slow growing one. The manner of growtn is affected se by the amount of food available for use of plant. A slow growing tree 1s likely to be stout. If a naturally slow growing tree is placed in the best growing conditions it is ver-v probable that the woody portion will be more Slender and pliabie than it would have been had its conditions fcr growth been less favorable. Again the manner of growth of a ycung tree is not like the manner or crowth of an Old tree, A young tree that is errect in growth, in all probabilities will be ascending when Old or if it is diverging when voung it will be spreading when ola. The leaf buds do not vary as much as the leaves, Since they vary app:eciably only in size and very little in shape their value in connection with.a description is not very perceptible. Examinaticn of the follage is generally next in order. FPoliarce is the source of much individual variation. The nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium im the soil are all factors which influence the leaf color and texture and some times size, The season also exerts its influence on the size of leaf. Ina dry seascn the leaves wiil be much smaller than they would have been in a moist seeson. In distinct types the leaves are renerally characteristic. The color of a shoot is rardly ever taken into consideration because of the freat variation in individuels of the same variety. The color cf a shoot changes creatly during the progress of a season and it is also influenced by unusual drouths and wet spells. A healthy tree in the prime of life is likely to te much brighter than is a tree cf the sane variety that is not as healthy. The color can be relied upon in a few instances but the instances are so few that they are Of welue only to the most expert. Of ail the factors which are teken into consideration in determining the variety to which a fruit individual belongs, the form, the color, the texture, the flavor and the quality of the fruit are probably relied on to the greatest depree, If it were not for tre fact that each variety of fruit is true to its primary description only in exceptional cases, it. would be an easy matter to determine the variety by an examination of a fruit in regard to form, color, texture, flavor and quality. Correlations in color cf fruit, especially flavor, texture and form are not to be expected in every instance. The difference which are likely to arise ina moderatly extended fruit region are many and varied. The differenceswhich do cccur when varieties grown in widely separated districts aie compared are generally quite striking. The Northern Spy apple for instance is an excellent apple in the North and in the West anple reion. In the South, however, it grows small, loses the rich flavor, the handsome color, and mellowness of flesh which it possesses in the north. The Esopus Spitzenburgh is found to nearly always correspond tuo its description when it is grown in its native location, but when srown in ~~ 355 —- Michivsan and in otrer states it seldom reaches its best. It becomes small. and loses much of its high rich flavor, The fruit of tne Yellow Bellflower in the southwest is hardy, excellent, tender, crisp and juicy while in the north it drops prematurely and becomes tart and less ricn. Let me repeat again, that because of the like small varieties which are likely to tale place in a variety that is grown in moderately extended fruit districts, the greater the nunrer of factors we have to deal with tne easier will it be to make a determination. In the past the flower has seldom been used as a factor in description, In the future flowers of some species of fruit can reasonably take a place of prominence. In the case of the apple the flowers have mar“ed character- istics, The pear flower seems more inclined to double than does the apple flower, In the apple flower there are seldom more than five petals. As a rule the flowers seem to be much larger in the apple than in the pear, The apple has a variety of differently shaped petals, Nearly every variety has its characteristic share. The different varieties of pears have more nearly the same shaped petals and the claws are more uniform in snavde and length also, One of tne most striking features of tne apple flower was tne characteristic hair covering thet was on the stripe; In some cases the hair bunched at its top and in other ° sp cases the hair was bunched at the base. The hair was -~-37-- variously Located but tne position was characteristic in each variety. The drawings accompanying the varlety descriptions wil] better illustrate the point, tranl can describe it in words. Speakins generally tne variety characteristics are not as striking in the pear as they are in the arple, but it is not improbable that they will be of value in deseriptiions. he idea of using tne blossom of the apples and the blossoms of the pears in their classification is not a new one, In 1379 Professor W. J. Beal read an articie berore the Aznerican Pomological Society entitled, "Describ- ing Varieties of Apples by Their Flowers" and in 19301 the professor read a paper pefore the Anerican Pomological Society entitled, "Distinguisning Varieties of Pears by their Blossoms." In my examination of the flowers of the apple and the flowers of tne near, I endeavored to take those flowers which were in good condition and normal development. Specimens to be examined were taken from diffe rent parts of individual trees and also from different trees of the same variety. Only those varieties which grow at the College Experiment Station were examined, From six to eight inflorescence from each variety were examined, both from the a:ple varieties and from the pear varieties. In making observations the apple flowers were noted for color at three stages of their development, lst when the buds were the size of a pea; second just before --33-~— the stanens burst through the petals and third, just as the stamens are about to sned pollen, All three stares are readily found in one inflorescense. The pear flowers were not examined for color as they are invariably white when developed and a yellowish white when in the bud. The points noted in the apple flower and in apple inflorescense besides color of flower at different developments, were tne shape of petals, their average length and width, the average length of claw, the average dia of receptacle, the average length and width of sepels, the average length of styles and stypes, the average dia of an open flower, the average length of the outer pedical, the average length of the middle pedical and the average len cth of the terminal pedical, the number of flowers in an inflorescense, the number of stamens ina flower and tne texture of the petals. Drawings from each variety were made showing the shape Of the apple, petals, the shape of the sepels and the form of the styles and stypes, The location of the hairs on the pistals and stypes in the case of the apple was very singular in that no two varieties had the hairs correspondingly located. The styles of the pear flowers have for each variety no individual characteristics, The parts studied in the pear flower were the sane | with a few exceptions as were examined in the apple flower. The points noted in connection with the pear flower were the shape of the petals, the average length and width Of pistals, tne averase length and width of the sepels, rn _-3Q9-- we average length of claw, tne average dia; of the receptacle,the avera;se dia. of pistil, the length of pedical and the average length of the first, the middle and the terminal pedical, the number of flowers in an inflorescence. The measurements were taien for the purpose of determining whether the parts were large, small, Or medium. The different varieties are quite likely to have different combinations of parts, For instance, in the flower of one variety we will find an organ (a pistil or stamen for example) that is small and another Organ that is large while in the flower of another variety we will find the size of the same two organs reversed, The flowers of twenty-three varieties of pears were examined. Zhe petals either elliptica],oval, rotund, broadly elliptical or broadly oblong, The following numbers used to give dimentions will be the average in the variety named in connection with them. The narrowest petals were in the Lawrence (10/32 in.) and the widest petal was in the Keifer (20/32 in.) The largest claw was in the Peffers (4/32 in.) long and the shortest claw was in the Garber, 1/32 in. long. The widest sepel was in the Bonesack (7/32 in) and the narrowest sepels were in the Lawrence (3/32 in.). The receptacle with the greatest dia. was the Early Margo (8/32 in.) and the smallest dia. was the Lawrence (7/64 in.). The longest style was tne Dana’s Hovey (25/64 in.) and the shortest etvle was in the Keiffrer (17/64). The dia. of sivies ot ~=40-- vary very little, bein; almost uniformly 1/96 in. The pedicals are almost uniformly 3/64 in. in diameter. The largest of the terminal pedicals was in the Swiss (1 12/16 in.) and the short:st was the Sheldon (14/16 in.) The largest Of the middle pedicals was in the Swiss (2 2/16 in) and the shortest was the Sheldon (14/16 in.) The largest outer or lower pedical was 2 7/16 in. in the Swiss and the shortest was in the Sheldon (12/18 in.) The inflores- cense that contained the largest number of flowers was in Old Ky. Home (13-11) and the inflorescence containing the smallest number of flowers was in the Souvenerda (5--6). The greatest diameter of a flower was on the ~ Souse Bonie (1 20/32 in.) and the smallest diameter was in Lawrence (1 1/16 in.) The average measurements of the different parts may be classified into eitner medium, large or small in size, broad, medium or narrow in size, or long medium length Or short, Following are the deseriptions of the flowers.

In dealing with the apples the flowers of fourteen varieties were described. Tre petals cf the apple flower were ovate cr elliptical The narrowest petal was on a crab (13/32) and the widest was on a Canadian Baldwin (23/32). The largest petal was in the Rambo (29/32 in. long) and the shortest was in the unknown (19/32). ‘The shortest Claw was in Talman Sweet (1/32) and the longest was in unknown (4/32). The narrowest sepel was in the Talmam Sweet (4/32) and the widest was in the Cellein (38/32). The shortest sepel was in the Alexander and the Longest was in the Mann Blk (13/32. The largest receptacle was in the Northern Syp (4/32 in. dia.) and the smallest was ~-45-- in the Early Red Crab (2/32 in. dia.). The longest style was in the Mann Blk (16/32) and the shortest was in a Crab (10/32). The largest stype Or stalk was on the Barly Red Crab and the mortest was in the Northern Spy (6/32). The diameter of style varied from 2/96" to 3/96" and were either stout or slender. The longest terminal pedicel was in the Alexander and the shortest was in the Blk Main (6/15). The flower with the greatest diameter was the Rambo (1 14/16) and the shortest was in the Talman Sweet (1 3/16).

Kreiger and B. S. Brown. It was nct our intention, while experimenting with nectar, to work out any results that might be of value to the horticulturist; but rather to obtain some facts, as far as we were able, by investigation. All tne experiments were performed on apple blossoms and with two exceptions On old trees. Nectar, according to the various plant physiologists, is a form of sugar secreted by -lands at the base of the stamens Or pistil for the purpose of assisting cross fertilization. The medium of cross fertilization in all plants is by means of wind or insects and as one of the other students has proved that the pollen of apple blos- soms can not be carried by the wind, it leaves us depend- ent largely upon insects for our apple crop. As the nectar of the apple blossom is located in the cup shaped receptacle, the insects are compelled to run their proboscis down among the anthers in order to get the nectar. They thus get pollen on their legs, proboseis and other parts of their body, and as they fly from one flower to another they get it off on other stigmas thus fertilizing the flowers. According to Sachs the insedts effect the transformation of poilen involuntarily and : without their knowledge of it. ~-49-- On May 13th we examined a large number of blossoms in view of determining whether any nectar was secreted before the stamens discharged their pollen. We found in nearly every case that some nectar was excreted about one day before the flowers were open and in most cases two or three davs before the pollen was ripe. We also experimented to determine the number of times nectar would be excreted when removed by insects. To do this we enclosed several clusters of flowers with paper sacks to keep out the insects, then each day removed the nectar from the flowers with small pieces of blotting paper. It was found that no nestar was excreted after it had been removed four times. This would sem to indicate that if the insects removed all the nectar four times that no mcre honey would be exctreted ; but this result is to be questioned for two reasons: first, in order to remove the nectar from the flowers it was necessary to remove some of the stamens, thus interfering with the natural conditions of the plant: and second, in some cases the stamens were removed but the nectar allowed to remain, in which case)the nectar remained but very little longer than those from which it was removed, On May 14th, we began examining the flowers to see if there was any appreciable difference in the sweetness of the nectar or if the bees liked the nectar from one tree better than another. We first tasted the nectar from several trees and could tell the difference in the -~50-~ varieties but were unable to determine anything as a basis for results. We next selected eif¢nt varieties and attempted to count the insects working upon the flowers. For four successive days we climbed to the top of the trees counting all]. the insects seen for a period of five minutes. As the number of blossoms varied on each tree, we independently placed the trees in ranks according to the number of blossoms. We arreed on five trees, placing the other three by arbitration. The results are fcund in the following table.

We think in that the trees stood somewhat close together and from the wide variation in the number of insects, that we have sufficient evidence to prove tnat tnere i: sOmetning in the odor of the flower or the sweetness of the nectar that makes the insects like one kind better than another, In order to determine whether the nectar is excreted in the dark or not, cn May 14th we enclosed several clusters in paper sacks after first covering them with black cloth. When the sacks were put on no nectar had been excreted and we found by observing these that, although the nectar was delaied about one day more tnan the blossoms that were not covered, darkness does not interfere materially with the excretion of noney. We also determined later that tne quantity of nectar excreted by any flower in the dark was not as large as from those in the light. On May 13th we enclosed several clusters to determine how long the mctar would remain if it were unmolested by the insects. This was tried on three different trecs, two young trees (Chenango and Babuschinae) and One old tree(Talman Sweet). It was found that the Babuschinae- retain ad its nectar for about eipht davs, ~-52-~ the Chenan;-o nine and the Talman Sweet ten or eleven, In every case it remained from three to four days longer than those that were not covered, On May 17th we took some of the flowers tnat had been covered with the black cloth and weighed them on an analvtical balance, then removing the nectar and welehning again we were able to obtain the quantity of nectar excreted, The results ars as follows, No, of flower.

From these results we conclude that the amount: of nectar excreted under similar conditions are comparatively constant.
