Growth, be ing acted upon by changed environ ment. causes the offspring to differ from its parent. This difference is pre served .by heredity and transmitted to the next offspring, thus bringing to pass evolution. The word species do»s not mark tiie limit beyond which reprn duction cannot go. Can it not go a st»p further? The hybrid is a step further and the hybrid is not always sterile, my son: nor are varieties always fertile when crossed. “Left to itself nature's products do not seek new tVvironment.” Now you don't mean that, do you? How about this? Nearly all seed-bearing plants have some means attached to iheir seed for plant ing these in a new place. Witness the cockleburr, the dandelion, the milk weed, also all fruits which have seed on the inside.
