Some of the remaining seeds of both scries, whether or not in 

 a state of germination, were thickly sown on the opposite sides 

 of two very large pots ; and the six highest plants on each side 

 of each pot were measured after they had grown to nearly their 

 full height. But their heights were much less than in the 

 former trials, owing to their extremely crowded condition. Even 

 whilst quite young, the crossed seedlings manifestly had much 

 broader and finer leaves than the self-fertilised seedlings.
