Table 7/C.—­Relative heights, weights, and fertility of plants from parents crossed by a fresh stock, and from parents either self-fertilised or intercrossed with plants of the same stock.

Column 1:  Names of the plants and nature of the experiments.

Column 2:  Number of plants from a cross with a fresh stock.

Column 3:  Average height in inches and weight.

Column 4:  Number of the plants from self-fertilised or intercrossed parents of the same stock.

Column 5:  Average height in inches and weight.

Column 4:  x, where the ratio of the Height, Weight and Fertility of the plants from the Cross with a fresh stock is expressed as 100 to x.
