Why Il 10 That often but Little Fruit
Sets on the Vines.

Not . few people are puzzled by the
behavior of cucumber vines In the
gardens and complain that although
the vines are poisoning full. little or
no fruit sets. A number OF inquiries
OF this nature have already been re-
ceived 1t the Colorado Agricultural
COLLEGE experiment station this year.
The reason for this. writes w. Pad
dock. 10 rs follows: There are TWO
kinds OF blossoms upon the cucum-
Der vines, as well as upon . number
OF other plants of similar nature. The
6rst blossom to set. and by far the
most numerous throughout the life OF
the plant, are what are known -
male flowers. These are imperfect
in their makeup for the reason that
they lack the pistil. or that part from
which the fruit and seed are formed.
