After
a time the pots were plunged into the open ground. The same number of
plants of crossed and self-fertilised parentage were measured up to the
summits of their flower-stems, with the result given in Table 4/35.
Those which did not produce flower-stems were not measured.

The average height of the twenty-four crossed plants is here 17.17
inches, and that of the same number of self-fertilised plants 14.61; or
as 100 to 85. Of the crossed plants all but five flowered, whilst
several of the self-fertilised did not do so.
