Seeds from three F, plants bearing 21, 24 und 25 leaves respec- 
tively were grown in Bloomfield in rgr1, large cultures of each being 
planted. Progeny of two of these plants were also grown in New 
Haven and as they gave similar results space is rot taken in the 
Fig. 3. (403 X 401)—ı—4, Sumatra x Broadleaf, F3. 
This selection bred true for the drooping leaf habit of the Broadleaf, an intermediate 
leaf size and an average production of 22 leaves per plant. 
Table for them. These F, generations gave a range of variation 
equal to the combined range of the parents and F, and a corre- 
sponding increase in the coefficient of variability. All gave similar 
results showing the variation of the F, generation to be noninherited. 
The most interesting facts shown by the Table are the means 
and coefficients of variability for number of leaves of the thirteen
