This table does not bring out clearly the correlation of any 
cultural property with specific gravity. It does appear, how-

which is an observation of general application. It appears also 
that large seeds give firmer heads than do small seeds; and in 
general this observation also holds good with cabbages so far as 
the writer’s experience extends. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE, 
In one part of this test comparisons were made of seeds of 
different sizes and colors, the comparisons being between 10 
very small reddish seeds, 10 medium sized reddish seeds, 10 
medium sized black seeds, 6 large red seeds, and 10 large black 
seeds. In the other part of the test seeds were selected of different 
sizes from the smallest to the largest and their individual weights 
and later specific gravities taken. The results are shown in the 
following table:
