own pollen.) We can show the chances
of combination of pollen grain and egg
cell diagramatically as follows, pre-
suming that an approximately equal
number of each carry either the lax or
dense character:
There are only four possible com
binations, lax and lax. lax and dense,
dense and lax and dense and dense.
Lax meeting dense, or vice versa, we
know from the original cross, gives
intermediate, so that this generation
will consist of, on an average, one lax
individual to two with intermediate
ears to one with dense ears. Further,
owing to the fact that the individuals

ing and also from the union OF densG-
carving reproductive cells, have not
the alternative characters present in
their constitutions, they breed true to
laxress or denseness. The interme-
date formed by the union OF the alter
native lax and dense characters can
not be fixed. We recognize, then. that
the intermediate shape is in this case
a distinguishing feature of those indi'
yiduals carrying the two alternative
characters in their reproductive cells
THE mere fact that this can be recog
nized at so early a stage Is one which
the sequel will show to be OF great
value to the practical breeder.
We are now in position to consider
the inheritance Of the bearded and
beardless condition, neglecting nov
the question of whether individuals
are lax or dense or intermediate In

bore no more beard than the beardlesi

PRUNING GRAPES.
The Vines Should Be Attended to at
the Proper Time.

Grape vines. unlike many other
vines, trees and shrubs, can be pruned
without injury only when they are In
a deep dormant condition. At any
other time the upward flow OF sap is
so strong that II will flow out Of the
wounds and cause what is called
bleeding" which impairs the vitality
of the plants.
The time TO prune grape vines is
soon after they have dropped their
leaves and the whole plant becomes
dormant. preferably with falling
temperature before mid-winter. II
pruning is done while leaves remain
