  Ear 
  167a 
  is 
  a 
  pure 
  sweet 
  showing 
  no 
  marked 
  intermediates, 
  

   as 
  noted 
  ; 
  ear 
  164a 
  is 
  almost 
  pure 
  sweet, 
  showing 
  eight 
  intermediate 
  

   to 
  163 
  sweet 
  kernels, 
  a 
  ratio 
  of 
  about 
  4 
  per 
  cent 
  intermediates 
  to 
  

   95 
  per 
  cent 
  sweet. 
  The 
  intermediates 
  here 
  also 
  incline 
  toward 
  the 
  

   sweet 
  type 
  in 
  amount 
  of 
  wrinkling 
  and 
  translucency, 
  though 
  

   easily 
  distinguishable 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  sweet 
  kernels. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  photograph 
  shows, 
  ear 
  164/, 
  also 
  from 
  an 
  intermediate 
  

   kernel 
  is 
  in 
  general 
  quite 
  of 
  the 
  dimpled 
  type, 
  but 
  with 
  conspicuous 
  

   sweet 
  and 
  intermediate 
  kernels 
  scattered 
  among 
  the 
  dent-like 
  

   kernels. 
  The 
  classes 
  here 
  are 
  158 
  starchy 
  to 
  43 
  intermediate 
  and 
  

   35 
  sweet. 
  If 
  we 
  divide 
  the 
  intermediates 
  equally 
  bet^veen 
  the 
  

   starchy 
  and 
  the 
  sweet 
  classes, 
  we 
  shall 
  have 
  179-5 
  starchy 
  to 
  56-5 
  

  

  ratio.

  The 
  extremes 
  of 
  

  

  sweet 
  class, 
  we 
  get 
  2.67 
  starchy 
  to 
  1.32 
  sweets. 
  

  

  the 
  six 
  ears 
  range 
  then 
  from 
  one 
  almost 
  pure 
  recessive 
  ear 
  to 
  one 
  

  

  as 
  they 
  have 
  been 
  perhaps 
  

  

  classed
