Blossoms of Strawberry
of Two Different Kinds

Strawberry blossoms are Of two
kinds. One kind is called perfect,
staminate, or male. and the other kind
imperfect, pistillate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect bios
SONS. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize

and enable them to bear fruit. The
varieties with Imperfect blossoms can-
o set fruit without receiving pollen
