In addition to these plants, three crossed plants were planted
separately in three large pots, and three self-fertilised plants in
three other large pots, so that they were not exposed to any
competition; and now the self-fertilised plants exceeded the crossed in
height by a little, for the three crossed averaged 55.91, and the three
self-fertilised 59.16 inches; or as 100 to 106.
