The Origin of Chrysanthemum Segetnm Plenum. 193 
This was apparently no longer the case in the follow- 
ing summer. The following are the records of five 
plants taken in late summer :

D' and E' were counted 6 weeks later on the same 
plants as D and E. The plant E is the seed-parent in 
Fig. 32, p. 181, under 1899, marked with a X- The 
figures may be regarded as the expression of a tendency 
to fall back on the secondary maximum at 47 (= 13 + 
34), and the same result was reached by the other count- 
ings, which it is not worth while to reproduce here. 
In the following year (1900) the maximum of the 
lateral inflorescences was still higher. I give the data 
derived from three plants which were "double" and con- 
sequently sterile, and of the four next best which were 
chosen as seedparents.

The curve of the "double" race thus seems to have 
its maximum at about 55 (=21+34). The possi- 
bility of attaining higher mean numbers seems to be
