Mr. Galton made many careful experiments in reference to cross and self fertilization of corn. The ratio between the heights of the crossed and of the self fertilized is as [underlined] 100 [/underlined] to [underlined] 84 [/underlined]. In one series of experiments he finds the overage of [underlined] fifteen [/underlined] crossed plants to be 20.10. and of fifteen self-fertilized plants to be 17.57, or as 100 to 87. A large number of the crossed and fertilized seeds were planted
