lination of peaches and pears.
The studies have been co1cen-
trated on new peach va.iety called
Candoka, now being commercially
planted. Most peach varieties are
self fertile and will set a crop Of
fruit with their own pollen. One
exception is the variety known as
the j. H. Hale, and since Candoka
is a bud sport or mutation Of the
j. H. Hale, the fruit industry desires
to know whether the Candoka will
show the same tendency toward
self-sterility as is shown by the
parent variety.
