Why did Mendel remove the male parts from the flowers before he cross-pollinated them?

I'm doing my Science study guide for Genetics and I need help.

So that they could not self-pollinate.

most likely to prevent self-pollination: some flowers can do that, you know.

Mendel's experiments depended on knowing what the parents were of any cross he made.  Peas are self-pollinated, so to prevent that he removed the male parts so that no pollen would be involved in the production of peas that Mendel, himself, did not introduce to the flower.
