  The 
  ears 
  verge 
  strongly 
  toward 
  pure 
  intermediates 
  in 
  their 
  

   general 
  appearance 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  difficult 
  if 
  not 
  impossible 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  

  

  intermediate 
  

  

  necessary 
  

  

  the 
  remaining 
  ones 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  as 
  the 
  grades 
  of 
  wrinkling 
  are 
  

   similar 
  to 
  those 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  figures 
  given 
  for 
  the 
  F3 
  generation. 
  

   A 
  lot 
  of 
  intermediate 
  kernels 
  from 
  ear 
  164 
  c 
  showed 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  

   the 
  selfing 
  in 
  the 
  F3 
  still 
  more 
  markedly. 
  Fourteen 
  small 
  ears 
  

   and 
  nubbins 
  were 
  obtained 
  all 
  but 
  two, 
  753 
  c 
  and 
  753 
  ^, 
  were 
  

   poorly 
  filled. 
  Ear 
  753 
  c 
  was 
  quite 
  uniformly 
  intermediate. 
  Ear 
  

   753 
  h 
  verged 
  more 
  toward 
  sweet. 
  The 
  scattered 
  kernels 
  on 
  the 
  

   other 
  ears 
  and 
  nubbins 
  were 
  hard 
  to 
  classify 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  flattened 
  

   and 
  abnormal 
  forms 
  regularly 
  found 
  in 
  such 
  scattered 
  kernels 
  and 
  

   I 
  have 
  not 
  attempted 
  to 
  summarize 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  this 
  planting. 
  

  

  A 
  lot 
  of 
  intermediate 
  kernels 
  from 
  the 
  F3 
  ear 
  164 
  d, 
  sister 
  to 
  

   164 
  h 
  and 
  164 
  c, 
  gave 
  four 
  ears, 
  754 
  e-h, 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  proportion 
  of 
  

   rather 
  typically 
  intermediate 
  kernels. 
  The 
  classes 
  are 
  given 
  m 
  

   Table 
  III, 
  section 
  2. 
  There 
  are 
  55+ 
  per 
  cent 
  intermediate, 
  and 
  

  

  44+ 
  

  

  754/ 
  

  

  mediate 
  kernels. 
  All 
  four 
  ears 
  

   verging 
  toward 
  flints 
  in 
  

  

  showed 
  some 
  kernels 
  strongly 
  

  

  their 
  appearance. 
  These 
  kernels 
  are 
  

   somewhat 
  opaque 
  and 
  their 
  wrinkling 
  is 
  very 
  delicate, 
  scarcely 
  

   perceptible 
  in 
  some 
  cases.
