But an absolute reversion could no more be reached in this direction than in the normal one. Any sowing without selection would be 352 Ever-sporting Varieties liable to reduce the strain to an average condi- tion. The production of varietal and of atavistic leaves is dependent to a high degree on external conditions. It agrees with the gen- eral rule, that favorable circumstances strengthen the varietal peculiarities, while un- favorable conditions increase the number of the parts with the atav...istic attribute. These in- fluences may be seen to have their effect on the single individuals, as well as on the generations growing from their seed. I cannot cite here all the experimental material, but a single illustra- tive example may be given. I divided a strong individual into two parts, planted one in rich soil and the other in poor sand, and had both pollinated by bees with the pollen of some nor- mal individuals of my variety growing between them. The seeds of both were saved and sown separately, and the two lots of offspring culti- vated close to each other under the same ex- ternal conditions.
