These two lots of seeds were left

Cross & self-fertilised seeds obtained in the above manner were allowed to to germinate on damp sand, and as often as a crossed and self-fertilised seed pair germinated at the same time they were planted in the manner described in the Introduction,  on the opposite sides of the same pots. Five pairs were thus planted; and in a third pot all the remaining seeds, whether or not in a state of germination, were planted on the opposite sides, of a third pot so that the young plants on both sides were here greatly crowded and exposed to very severe competition. Rods of iron or wood of equal diameter were given to all the plants to twine up; and as soon as any one of a each pair reached the summit, both were measured. A single rod was placed on each side of the crowded pot. No. III, and only the tallest plant on each side was measured.
