Evidently the information given by Prof. F. C. Harrison on pages 

 27 and 28 of the Colleg-e Bulletin 137, under the headinp- of "Suscep- 

 tibility of Varieties," and on pages 16 and 17 of bulletin 136, under the 

 headings of "Susceptibility of Varieties," and "The Planting of Im- 

 mune Varieties," was based entirely on the notes taken by the Experi- 

 mental Department in 1901. In bulletin 137, page 28, "Jersey Navet" 

 should read "Jersey Navet"; "Warly La Crosse" should read "Early 

 La Crosse"; "Lutton's Imperial Green Globe" should read "Sutton's 

 Imperial Green Globe"; "Early Purple Top Murrich" should read 

 "Early Purple Top Munich"; and in bulletin No. 136, page 17, "Red 

 Top" should read "Red Top White Globe." 



From the results here presented in tabulated form, it will be seen 

 that none of the varieties were immune from the rot in the average of 

 the three years' tests, but that three varieties, viz., the Cow Horn, the 

 Early American Purple Top, and the Yellow Stone, had less than 10 

 per cent, of diseased roots. Those varieties having 10 and under 20 

 per cent, of decayed turnips were the White Egg, Jersey Navet, Red 

 Top Strap Leaf, Yellow Montgomery, Jersey Lily, and Purple Top 

 Mammoth. 



In averaging the results for the five years during which the fall tur- 

 inps were practically free from rot, we find the yield of each of five 

 varieties to be as follows :
