More Mendelism, in Answer to Dr. Bonney. 



PENN G. SNYDER. 



FEAR I will be compelled to take issue with Dr. Bonney, 

 pages 406-7, in reference to Mendelism. According to my light 

 your diagram should read : 



Toll

Self fertilized

 from every 4 seeds 

 the following;-

In the diagram the 6 TT's and the 6DD's will breed true, the 

 TD's and DT's will produce the same result as the second genera- 

 tion to wit: 1 Tall or TT, 1 Dwarf or DD, and 3 TD's or hybrids. 

 The TD's and DT's will forever and ever produce the same formula 

 if self-fertilized or fertilized by another flower having the same blood 

 construction.
