Those varieties most subject were: Oakview Early Market, Crosby's Early, Cosmo- 

 politan, Extra Early Red Cory, Holmes' Premo, Early Sweet or Sugar, Black Mexican, 

 Golden Hybrid, Golden Bantam, Hys' Metropolitan, 900, 901, and Malakoff. All early 

 sorts except Black Mexican, which is medium and very sweet.* 



Those sweet corns nearly free were: Champion Early, Potter's Excelsior, Egyptian, 

 Country Gentleman, Old Colony, Zig Zag Evergreen, Stowell's Evergreen, and Sheffield. 

 All of these are late varieties except Champion Early and Sheffield. 



On August 22, in my absence, Mr. Rorer began for me a second count of cases (new 

 cases) in the trial rows on the Flats, but was unable to finish it. His notes, as far as they 

 go, are given below: 



853 [Malakoff]. No live stalks at all. Tassels all dried up and leaves on every stalk entirely dry and brown. No 



good ears at all. Most of them are smutted. 

 Cases, 12. Nearly every stalk was diseased by the bacteria. 



854 [Malakoff]. Presents same general appearance as 853. 



Cases, 11; sound, 2. 



855 [Golden Bantam]. Looks same as 853 and 854. 



Cases, 1 1 ; sound, o. Two stems were entirely rotted away, so that condition of bundles could not be made out. 

 In all these cases almost every bundle showed yellow ooze. 



856 [Oakview Early Market]. All dead. Only 6 stalks. 



Cases, 5. One stem too badly rotted to make anything out as to bundles. 



857 [Extra Early Red Cory]. A little better-looking row. The stems are taller and some of the leaves are more or less 



green. None look very healthy, however, so have cut all out. 

 Cases, 23; sound, 13. 



858 [I'ordhook]. Very bad-looking lot. All stems entirely dead and leaves dry and shriveled. 



Cases, 13; doubtful 2; sound, 1. Two stems too much decayed to make out bundles. 



*In his bulletin Stewart states that on Long Island the disease is most destructive to early varieties. According 

 to observations made by the writer in 1909 at Kensington, Maryland, the variety Pocahontas is also much subject 

 to the disease. This is a small early sort.
