the compared variety and the Red Spanish were both 

 tested along side. The results are given below^: 



In 7 out of 12 experiments Red Spanish proved supe- 

 rior in yield to White Spanish. 



Pounds Relative 

 per Acre Yield 



White Spanish 1094 88 



Red Spanish 1244 100 



In 7 out of 12 tests Valencia was exceeded by Red 

 Spanish: 



Valencia 1137 91 



Red Spanish 1244 100 



In 8 out of 10 experiments North Carolina Running 

 was equalled, or exceeded in yield of unhulled nuts by 

 Red Spanish: 



North Carolina Runner 1068 84 



Red Spanish 1268 100 



In 6 out of 10 tests Virginia Runner was surpassed 

 in yield of unhulled nuts by Red Spanish: 



Virginia Runner 1087 85 



Red Spanish 1275 100 



The comparison is still more unfavorable to Virginia 



Runner on the basis of pounds of meats per acre, 

 since in a number of the tests this variety had a large 

 proportion of pops. The four localities in which Vir- 

 vinia Runner exceeded Red Spanish in yield of un- 

 hulled nuts were Pinckard, Dale County; Honoraville, 

 Butler County; Jasper, Walker County; and Auburn, 

 Lee County. In only one of the six tests (Pinckard) did 

 Virginia Runner afford a larger weight of meats per 

 acre. 



In 3 out of 5 tests McGovern was exceeded in yield 

 of unhulled nuts by Red Spanish, and in every year 

 in which the meats were separated Red Spanish afford- 

 ed a larger weight of meats per acre: 



McGovern 871 87 



Red Spanish 1005 100 



In 6 out of 9 experiments Tennessee Red was sur- 

 passed by Red Spanish on the basis of unhulled nuts: 



Tennessee Red 1079 86 



Red Spanish _ 1252 100 



In all experiments, except one, the yield of meats 

 from Red Spanish was greater than the yield from 

 Tennessee Red,
