BEES AND
Color and Fragrance Have Little Innu-

Color and Fragrance Have Little Inhu-
ence In Attracting Insects.
There are few florists who have not
been interested in the particular specu-
lation advanced by writer's with a
limited knowledge of plants in regard
to the agency of insects In the fertiliza-
speculations color and fragrance have
been made the attributes of flowers sole
lY that insects may be attracted and
thereby insure Decentralization.
The insect is supposed to carry pollen
from the flowers of one plant to the
flowers of another, and it Is further sup
posed that the progeny of these crosses
have a greater power in what is called
1.-The struggle for life" than plants
which originate from naturalization.
Those, however, who look closely into
nature OF flowers find very much hat
cannot be explained by these speoula-
tions. For instance, the willow Is a
plant that bears male and female flow
ers on separate plants. Female flowers
have no fragrance, and yet they are
visited by bees, probably just as freely
as if the flowers were ever so sweet.
The male flowers, on the other hand,
AVE a delightful fragrance-bees visit
them also with freedom.
As n general rule, bees hat collect
from the male flowers seem to collect
from these male plants only. Usually
individual bees seem to work wholly on
the female flowers, and. as bees visit the
sweet flowers and the scentless flowers
Unfortunately, what connection can
Il odor of the male nave to do with the
questions Of Decentralization? This
seems equally true of color. A largo
number of the sweetest flowers are ex-
tremely insignificant as regards color.
while numbers of the most snowy 1ow-
ers have scarcely anything that would
invite nectar-lovipg insects. 1t may
be granted that color and fragrance
may have some little influence in at
tracing insects. but these characters
can have no great place in building up a
speculation as to the great changes in
plants involved in theories of cross
