The twenty-one Westerham-crossed plants now averaged 50.05 inches; the
twenty-two intercrossed plants, 54.11 inches; and the twenty-one
self-fertilised plants, 33.23 inches in height. We thus get the
following ratios:--
The Westerham-crossed plants in height to the self-fertilised as 100 to
66.
The Westerham-crossed plants in height to the intercrossed as 100 to
108.
The intercrossed plants in height to the self-fertilised as 100 to 61.
We here see that the Westerham-crossed (the offspring of plants
self-fertilised for four generations and then crossed with a fresh
stock) have gained greatly in height, since they were first measured,
relatively to the plants self-fertilised for five generations.
