    The document provides steps for cross-pollinating plants to create hybrid fruits. It instructs the reader to check if two plants are in the same botanical species, cut pollen from a male flower of one plant, rub the pollen on a female flower of another plant of the same species, wait for the fruits to mature and then save and plant the seeds to grow hybrid plants and fruits.

    Steps

    1. Find out if the two plants are in the same botanical species. For example, zucchini, Howden's Field pumpkin, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, small decorative gourds, and Jack-Be-Little miniature pumpkins are all members of the same botanical species, C. Pepo. But Butternut squash, Small Sugar pumpkin, White Cushaw pumpkin, and Big Max pumpkin are not in the same botanical species, so they cannot be crossed with this method. 2. Cut a male flower off of one variety of the plant. 3. Rub the pollen on a female flower of another plant that's within the same botanical species. 4. Wait for the fruit to mature and ripen. The results of cross-pollination will not be expressed in this generation; they will show up in the next. 5. Save the seeds. 6. 6 Plant them. They will grow into plants which make hybrid fruits.
