NATURAL CROSS-FERTILIZATION IN INDIA. 



111 tlie group of red seeded sarson 13 single plants were sown 

 in 1909, six of wliich split according to seed colour as follows. 

 The rest bred true. In addition to the splitting as regards seed 

 colour most of the cultures varied in the size and arrangement of 

 the pods. (Fig. 1, Plate IX.) 



Tori or Indian Kape. 



The types of tori ripen early and considerably in advance of 

 rai and sarson. Setting under bag is not so easy as in rai and 

 sarson, and further work is in progress on the method of polhnation 

 in this species. 



Only two cases of splitting as regards seed colour and habit 

 were met "with in 27 single plant cultures made in 1909. One 

 plant gave rise to 3 white seeded plants and 14 red seeded plants. 

 One parent plant with spreading habit gave 3 erect and 12 spreading 

 plants.
