CROSSED AND SELF-FERTILISED PLANTS OF THE TENTH GENERATION.

Six plants were raised in the usual manner from the crossed plants of
the last generation (Table 2/10) again intercrossed, and from the
self-fertilised again self-fertilised. As one of the crossed plants in
Pot 1 in Table 2/11 became much diseased, having crumpled leaves, and
producing hardly any capsules, it and its opponent have been struck out
of the table.
