1. Versuch. Unter 565 Pflanzen, welche aus runden Samen der ersten Generation gezogen wurden, brachten 193 wieder nur runde Samen und blieben demnach in diesem Merkmale constant; 372 aber gaben runde und kantige Samen zugleich, in dem Verhältnisse 3 : 1.
1st trial: Among 565 plants which were reared from round seeds of the first generation, 193 brought forth only round seeds again and thus remained constant in this trait; but 372 gave round and angular seeds at the same time, in the proportion 3 : 1.
The manuscript has a colon after Versuch, which we have reintroduced in our translation, although Mendel did not correct this in his off-print.
