The twelve have certain characteristics which distinguish them from the normal stock from which they arose. They are of feebler growth than normals and have a relatively high degree of pollen sterility, while pollen from normals is relatively good with less than 5 per cent. obviously imperfect grains when examined in unstained condition. The breed-ing behavior of the twelve is peculiar in that the mutant character is transmitted almost entirely through the female sex.-Usually about one quarter or less of the offspring only from a given mutant reproduce the parental mutant type. The pollen entirely fails to transmit the mutant character, or transmits it only to a small percentage of its offspring. This is concluded from the fact that normal female plants crossed with mutant pollen pro-duce no mutant offspring or only a small per--centage, and from the fact that the pollen of any of the 12 mutants seems to be no more potent in reproducing the mutants than pollen from normals.
