. Principles of plant culture : an elementary treatise designed as a text-book for beginners in agriculture and horticulture. Horticulture; Botany. Plant Breeding. 255 opened with the forceps or needle. The removal of the anthers is termed emasculation (e-mas-cu-la'-tion). In the flowers of certain plants, as the pea, wheat and grape, pollination takes place before the blossom opens. In these plants, it is necessary to emasculate the flowers very earlj'. Fl-^, 171. Case of instruments and sacks 442. To Prevent Un-''^â '""^'''"sp''"""- desired Pollination, the blossom should be inclosed by tj'ing over it a sack of thin cloth or paper at the time of re- moving the anthers. The sack will of course have to be removed for pollination, after which it should be promptly replaced. ^ Pollination should be performed twenty-four to forty-eight hours after emasculation (441), the period depending upon the plant, and the stage of development of the flow- ers at the time of the lattpr operation. Apply- ing the pollen on two con- secutive days tends to in- sure success. The pollen is applied by placing an anther (144) containing mature pollen in direct contact with the stigma (145), or by removing some ot the pollen upon the back of the point of a penknife, or by means of a camel's-hair.
