The early varieties were put in the field May 18, the medium June 11, 

 and the late ones July 3. 



The early sorts were watered once by surface irrigation when the heads 

 were about half grown, but the following rains furnished sufficient 

 moisture to mature the crop. The early and medium varieties developed 

 large and solid heads, but the wet weather retarded the growth of the 

 late varieties and many failed to head, hence comparisons were not put in 

 the table. 



They were planted in rows three and one-half feet apart, each plant 

 having a space of twenty inches in the row,
