Inferior and Superior Flowers.—In horticulture the flowers of the orchard fruits are divided into two classes, known as inferior and superior. The cherry and peach are superior in formation, as the fruit forms above the calyx, as shown in Fig. 13. In this case the fruit is developed by growth and alteration of the sides of the ovary and other parts of the pistil in the cherry, often leaving the calyx on the stem of the fruit. In the apple and pear the pistil and calyx grow together and the fruit is practically an enlargement of the whole flower, as shown in the divided flower of the apple at Fig. 14. In this class of fruits the calyx is shown at the eye of the fruit, while in the cherry it shows at the lower end of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Budd, Joseph L; Hansen, Niels Ebbesen, 1866-1950.
