This is clearly shown in the accompanying pic-tures. Not only is the hybrid plant taller and stronger,but in consequence of this, no doubt, the yield of corn 204 HEREDITY AND SEX per bushel is much increased, as shown in the nextfigure (Fig. 98). When the vigorous Fi corn is self-fertihzed, it producesa very mixed progeny, more variable than itself. Someof the F2 offspring are like the original grandpare
