Fi"^. 1900 shows the comparative size of Seckel when pollinated with Kieffer and with Lawrence pollen. Clapp pollinated with KieflFer was also larger than Clapp pollinated with Lawrence or Louise Bonne. Howell blossoms which re- ceived the pollen of Clapp g'ave fruits of nearly twice the size of those which received Bart- lett pollen. Bartletts crossed with Angou- leme were larger than Bartletts crossed with Sheldon.

Does Crossing the of THE Fruit ? In connection with mutual affinity of varie- ties which are selected for cross-pollination, there comes the question of the " immediate influence" of pollen. For instance, if Seckel pollen is put on KieflFer pistils, will it ifri- part the Seckel flavor, color and characteris-.
