M. Ch. Naudin sur le Genre Cucurbita

p. 43 L'Orangin (a var of Cucurb. pepo) a plant cultivated amidst a host of other vars, on which Bees caried their pollen came so true — that out of 37 seedlings, only 4 had their form sensibly modified; but all preserved their peculiar colour.

p 63 another plant flower certainly fertilised by various varieties, for there was no male flower of this var. at the time, prduced 24 seedlings, which reproduced their type "without notable alteration" some fruit only instead of being perfectly spherical were a little trace elongated, but preserved their proper size, colour, & structure.

Curious case of prepotency.—
