The data for the lateral diameter are shown in the same way in figure 7. 

 The same progress of size from the eighth, ninth, and tenth kernels 

 toward the base is to be seen as was found in the length. Here also, the 

 fifth and sixth kernels have exceeded the upper ones by the eighth day

after flowering. The growth in lateral diameter has been practically 

 completed by the sixteenth day. The measurements after the tenth day 

 are given only on alternate days, because the daily increase is so small 

 that the inclusion of all days causes the lines to become confused.
