When I was a boy my grandfather taught me to cross fertilise stuff
(can't
remember what now!) with a bunny's tail.

Having mislaid my forementioned tail (!) some years ago, I have
since
tried all sorts of small paint brushes for use with greenhouse-grown
melons... but they just don't seem to be quite right for the job.

I've always used a small paintbrush and it has always been succesful.

It occurs to me that if Keith can't get a real rabbit's tail and doesn't
like small water-colour brushes, then an up-market cosmetics department
will be able to sell him a very fat (about 3/4 inch in diameter
compressed) stubby soft brush intended for make-up. Pricey, I imagine,
but my ex had the same good-quality one for about twenty years.
Water-colour brushes themselves come in various sizes, too: I bet you
can get one half an inch thick.
