 1924.345as the parent-species, or other allied hybrids, generally grow in the same garden, the

 1950.142I have some reason to believe that the hybrids from Cervulus vaginalis and Reevesii
 1950.285versicolor are perfectly fertile. The hybrids from the common and Chinese geese (A

 1960.53the Sterility of first Crosses and of Hybrids.—We will now consider a little more in

 1986.1587It is also a remarkable fact, that hybrids raised from reciprocal crosses, though
 1992.282go together. There are certain hybrids which instead of having, as is usual
