Plants and animals of one species are supposed never toproduce a progeny of a different one, no matter how many PRINCIPLES OF THE GROWTH OF TREES. 15 successive generations may intervene. Thus, for example,the seed of a pear never produces an apple, these being dis-tinct species J but it gives many different sorts of pears, whichare only varieties.
