and of the " bastard" variety. The condition of the seedlings at 

 the time of analysis is shown in FIGURE I. The outward appearance 

 of the two kinds of seedlings was practically the same. Likewise, 

 the differences among the figures in our table for general chemical 

 composition are too slight to warrant any other conclusion than 

 that the seedling metabolism was, in general, essentially the same 

 in both varieties. The analyses were made 12 months after seeds 

 were planted.

* Analyses were made by the usual drying and incineration methods. The portions 

 subjected to comparative analysis were r.pproximately of the same morphological loca- 

 tion in each variety. The most significant differences se. m to be the slightly larger 

 proportion of water in the "red" wood and the relatively greater quantity of sol ids, 

 especially inorganic matter, in the " bastard" samples.
