exposed to the same conditions which as we shall hereafter is a very important circumstance— it is not at all surprising that the difference between them in the later generations should have somewhat decreased. It is on the contrary an astonishing fact, that the crossed plants should have beaten been victorious even in to a slight degree over the self-fertilised plants of the later generations.)

(29) (The much greater constitutional vigour of the crossed plants compared with the self-fertilised ones plant was proved on five occasions in various ways; namely

[Cross and self fertilisation, pp. 55-6: "When, however, we remember that the self-fertilised and crossed plants are all descended from the same mother-plant, that many of the crossed plants in each generation were related, often closely related, and that all were exposed to the same conditions, which, as we shall hereafter find, is a very important circumstance, it is not at all surprising that the difference between them should have somewhat decreased in the later generations. It is, on the contrary, an astonishing fact, that the crossed plants should have been victorious, even to a slight degree, over the self-fertilised plants of the later generations."]
