The inheritance of certain Quantitative Characters in Tobacco. 129 
point, the practical manipulation of them does not seem to the writer 
to be greatly different than that of qualitative characters, In botlı 
it is an undoubted fact that one may obtain new combinations of 
the parental characters ranging from the value of one parent to that 
of the other; in both some of these F, forms will breed true, while 
others will continue to recombine the factors in which they are 
heterozygous. 
In conclusion the writer desires to express, his obligation to 
Dr. E. M. East for much helpful advice.
