per plant for the whole lot was 3.75 ozs., or three times as much 
as was produced by germinable seeds of specific gravity less 
than 1.00. 
PEPPER. 
A part of the seedling peppers already described under the 
head of “ Correlations between specific gravity of seeds and their 
color,” were transplanted into the field for further culture tests. 
From each lot the largest two seedlings and three medium sized 
ones were selected except in the case of the seedlings from dark 
colored seeds, in which the largest five were taken. The season 
was very unfavorable to the growth of these plants and the yields 
were small, but are believed to be nevertheless comparable. The 
plants were harvested and records made of the weight of each 
plant entire, exclusive of roots, also of the number of fruits pro- 
duced and of their size. The fruits were, however, nearly all 
too small for market purposes. The larger fruits are indicated by 
giving the weight of each. The records follow:
