This
infinite
field
now
open
before
him,
Darwin
began
his
investigations,
and
the
whole
world
knows
his
triumphs.
He
has
been
followed
by
a
host
of
disciples,
to
whom
his
books
have
come
as
an
inspiration
and
ennobling
impulse.
Hildebrand,
Delpino,
Axell,
Lubbock,
and,
latest
and
perhaps
most
conspicuous,
Hermann
Mueller,
to
whom
the
American
reader
is
especially
referred.
"The
Fertilization
of
Flowers,"
by
this
most
scholarly
and
indefatigable
chronicler,
presents
the
most
complete
compendium
and
bibliography
of
the
literature
on
the
subject
that
have
yet
appeared.
Even
to
the
unscientific
reader
it
will
prove
full
of
revelations
of
this
awe-inspiring
interassociation
and
interdependence
of
the
flower
and
the
insect.
Many
years
ago
the
grangers
of
Australia
determined
to
introduce
our
red
clover
into
that
country,
the
plant
not
being
native
there.
They
imported
American
seed,
and
sowed
it,
with
the
result
of
a
crop
luxuriant
in
foliage
and
bloom,
but
not
a
seed
for
future
sowing!
Why?
Because
the
American
bumblebee
had
not
been
consulted
in
the
transaction.
The
clover
and
the
bee
are
inseparable
counterparts,
and
the
plant
refuses
to
become
reconciled
to
the
separation.
Upon
the
introduction
and
naturalization
of
the
American
bumblebee,
however,
the
transported
clover
became
reconciled
to
its
new
habitat,
and
now
flourishes
in
fruition
as
well
as
bloom.
