As we see in the table I the eight F : individuals of French 

 x Japanese and three reciprocals are descended from a couple 

 of the same individuals and there were of course more seeds 

 resulted from the cross than these eleven but I sowed these 

 eleven seeds for further experiments as the area of the ground 

 did not allow me to test then. 



Each of these eleven individuals produced (1916) the families: 

 129, 30, 71, 63, 66, 36, 42, 37, 21, 22, 105 respectively. 15 



1) These figures indicate number of families and not the family-order.
