Fig. —Large flowers, such aa the poppy, may be used in studying the parts. (U. S. D. A.) to flower. Some of it will reach the pistils in other flowers. Pollinating by this method or by the wind is called cross- pollinating. Some varieties of strawberries and many other flowers have no true stamens and the pollen must be carried from other flowers (Fig. 54). 21. Wind and Insect Pollinating.—Compare the blossoms of a showy flower, as one of the fruit blossoms mentioned in the above exercise, with the blossoms of grass or corn. Do any of them have fragrance? Do bees visit all kinds? Which are most attractive in color ?' Compare the pollen of the two kinds. Flowers pollinated by the wind are usually not showy in color. They are usually green or yellowish green. The pollen is light and dry. There is no nectar, and the flower has no special odor. 6.
