Likewise, in modifying colors to increase the intensity of a 

 given color, choose two colors of the same shade but take the 

 pollen from the one which shows the most pronounced coloring 

 of the shade desired. 



On the contrary, if lighter shades are desired, select colors as 

 before but take the pollen from the plant which has the lighter 

 shade. 



Further, in attempting to derive new colors always use a white 

 flower as a B parent with which to break up colors. This will 

 work to absolute perfection. This method of mixing colors 

 works the same when applied to plants as the actual mixture of \i 

 colors on an artist's palette. 



RESULT OF ANIMAL CROSSES 



iEXEMPLIFIED BY CHICKENS) 



On account of the sexes being in different individuals it takes 

 two crosses to reach the same result that is obtained by a single 

 fertilization in the case of plants where both sexes reside in the 

 same individual. First two individual chickens are selected. The 

 female offspring C from the resulting fertilization is then mated 

 with the original A parent. Of the offspring from this second 

 fertilization about one-third are double the size of the original 

 parents. This high proportion of larger sized individuals is due 

 to the fact that the A parent was a sport of white leghorn and 

 was mated with the same flock from which it originated and 

 consequently very closely related. The same idea has been used 

 in carnations where the sports of the carnation Enchantress as A 

 parent and Enchantress as B parent with very striking results as 

 the high quality of plants is intensified in this case. The same 

 result can presumably be obtained by taking male offspring C of 

 the first generation and securing fertilized eggs by mating with 

 the original B parent. 



The fact that both animals and plants respond to this law is a '^'i}^ 

 proof of their common origin.
