398 THE SURVIVAL OF THE UNLIKE. [XXIV. 



Raisin, This one crossed plant bore red fruits 

 about three times larger than German Raisin, had 

 much the general habit of that variety, and the 

 foliage was almost exactly intermediate between the 

 two, having very much the form of a hybrid which 

 we had once made by hand. The fruits were borne 

 in long clusters of eight or ten. 



2. German Raisin. — Nine plants. Eight typical 

 German Raisin, but one clearly a hybrid with some 

 large tomato, probably either Potato Leaf or Golden 

 Queen. This plant bore red fruits twice larger than 

 normal, and the foliage was a strange intermediate 

 between this species and the common tomatoes. It 

 was small and sparse, but nearer the common toma- 

 toes in form and texture. Thus a spontaneous 

 hybrid was produced with Ly coper sicum pimpinelli- 

 folium as its pistillate parent, but we had not suc- 

 ceeded in making this cross artificially. 



3. Golden Queen. — Thirteen plants, of which 

 eleven were true. Two were clearly hybrids with 

 German Raisin. The fruits were deep red, the same 

 as German Raisin, although the seeds came from 

 yellow fruits. The foliage was intermediate, very 

 like that in our artificial hybrids. 



4. Favorite. — Fifteen plants, all true. 



5. Jaune Grosse Lisse. — Fifteen plants, of which 

 fourteen were true to type, being large and bright 

 yellow. One plant, however, bore large light red 

 tomatoes, indicating a cross with a red variety, 



6. Mansfield Tree. — Fifteen plants, fourteen bear- 

 ing normal purple fruits. One plant, however, bore 

 red fruits, like Favorite. 



These records are interesting and valuable, because
