The smaller percentage of flowers which produced pods 

 and the smaller number of seeds per pod, from both cross 

 fertilized and self fertilized flowers, in 1910 than in 

 1909, was apparently- due to the drier weather conditions 

 v/hich existed in 1910. 



The percentage of flowers producing pods, the number 

 of mature seeds per pod, and the total number of seeds per 

 pod, is about 50 per cent more in each instance in 1910 

 where the flowers were fertilized with pollen from, other 

 flowers of the same plant.
