Sometimes the staminate and pistillate flowers are not only separate, but are on distinct plants, as the Buckthorn and Hemp. The pistillate flowers are said to be fertile, and the staminate sterile, and both must be planted near each other in order to obtain fruit or seed. Sometimes the stapiens, when not absent, are so defective that they cannot fertilize the pistils, or but This is the case with some of the pistillate strawberries; such, for example, as Hovey's Seedling and the Crescent. In order to produce good crops, some other vari- ety that has perfect fiowers or perfectly-developed stamens, as the Scarlet, or Wilson, must be planted near, from which the wind may waft or the bees carry the pollen to the imperfect flowers. Fig. 12 represents the flower of a staminate straw- berry, or one in which stamens as well as pistils are perfect; Fig. 13 is a pistillate flower, the stamens being small, and con- Staminate Flower.
