It has many stamens, arranged like those of the strawberry; and the pistil is composed, as that is, of a number of carpels rising out of a central receptacle But now let us examine the structure of the fruit, which we shall find differs materially from that of the strawberry in its formation.— Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 462 Volume 18, New Series, November 6, 1852
The pistil is affixed to this, and is formed by rolling the edge of the wax (as a whip in muslin), and cutting it fine, as previously directed.— The Royal Guide to Wax Flower Modelling
