Plants in series II were " suckered " twice after " tipping " but the amount of work 

 was much leas than that required in series I. 



Plants in series III were '* suckered " once. This with the removal of occasional 

 sprouts kept them in order. 



Yields. — (1.) Larger yields were obtained from the later " topping " than the earlier. 



(2). The greater number of leaves gave uniformly the heaviest yields.
