control and turn them into channels use
full to ourselves. There is some evil
dence which goes to show that man may
finally do away with the germs entirely
and develop only pulp, but this is a long
way off. But some varieties of grapes
do already show this tendency. In the
Eumelan grape we often find that there
are no seeds in the smaller berries. but
it is because the ovules have not been
fcrtilizcd with pollen, or but sparingly
iert!lized perhaps, and the fruit is much
smaller than the normal berries. Per-
haps what is known rs the Zantee cur
rant will illustrate the topic better. This

that this gr.rc is defective in its floral
organs, having stamens without pollen
enough to fully fer,iilze the stigmas;
hence the imperfect development of tho
ovules. Whether man can develop I'M
