It is merely the simplest manner of inter-preting the known facts, by connecting maize with the othe-iMaydese by a short series of changes that involve charactersthat mendelize. On the whole it does not differ greatly fromMontgomerys theory. Since we now believe that the essential role of hybridizationis to recombine the characters possessed by the parent plantsin definite ratios without actually producing anything new,[new combinations may produce characters formerly unknown],there is no necessity of postulating hybridization of teosintewith a more maize-like variety. It is known that when teosinteis cultivated in rich soil it sometimes produces ears havingan irregular development of fou
