I note that this leaving on of over- head supers is often practised, but I do not care to indulge in it in my own case. I feel that in cold winters bees are detri- mentally affected by this over-large in- ternal space in which they have to keep up a suitable warmth in zero weather. THE POLLINATION OF FRUITS. BY CECIL H. COOPER, With the exception of cob and filbert- nuts and walnuts which are wind pollinated, all our hardy fruits are more for pollination of fruits would seem to be calm somewhat warm and sunny weather, with an occasional shower, whereas frost and cold, strong winds and long continued rainy weather are detrimental to fruit production. The berry fruits appear to be all of them able to set fruit with pollen of the same flower, or from pollen of the same or of a different variety, but in the case of apple, pear, plum and cherry, an addi- tional problem in pollination comes in, namely that as all plants of a horticultural variety have arisen from one seed, each bud or graft used for its propagation acts â as if part of the original tree; and for cross-pollination purposes the blossoms are sister flowers whether the pollen is from the same flower, from another tree near, or from another tree of the same variety miles away. Many varieties will produce iruit when pollinated with their own pollen, but even with these better fruit is. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
