Planted in rows 66 feet long, 30 inches apart. Sets planted 12 inches apart in 

 the rows.

Harvestings: last five of Irish Cobbler were on August 27. 



Harvestings: all eight of Gold Coin were on September 20.

 best results, both in the case of the early and late variety, that sown on Hay 15 being 

 far ahead of that sown on any other date; particularly is this to be noticed in the 

 late variety,
