Some notes are given below upon the plantings upon the ten 

 plots above located, and of an equal number alongside of each 

 with other crosses of corn at a later date to reduce the mixing to 

 the lowest terms possible with the adopted plan. 



Plot I. "Black Pop" upon "Country Gentleman" (137/19). 

 White sweet grains. No plants produced ears. 



Plot 2. Planted with white flint grains from same ears as for 

 Plot I. A few fair-sized ears resulted which varied from straight 

 rowed and nearly white to zigzag ears with three-fourths of the 

 grains dark purple. 



Plot 3. Planted with "Black Pop" upon "Country Gentleman," 

 pure black flint grains. The ears were too few and small to 

 permit of an opinion of the test. 



Plot 4. Planted with "Black Pop" upon "Country Gentleman," 

 black sweet grains. Only two small ears were produced. 



Plot 5. Planted with "Golden Bantam" upon "Ruby," purple 

 grains and cob. Of the twenty-eight small ears, ten showed pur-

Plot 6. Planted' with same as No. 5, excepting that yellow

 seven small ears; four with purple cob and grains three-fourths 

 yellow and one quite white and three were the same in grains but 

 showed no purple in the cob. 



Plot 7. Planted with white grains from same three ears as 

 No. 6. Here the land was somewhat better and results are ap- 

 proximately a fair crop. Two ears purplish throughout, one- 

 fourth yellow grains. Sixteen ears purplish throughout, all white 

 grains. Six ears white throughout, cob, grains, etc., excepting 

 that one had a few pink grains. 



Plot 8. Planted with purple grains from ear with white cob 

 and yellow grains. Four ears purple cob and grains, three- 

 fourths yellow. Seven ears purple cob only with grains three- 

 fourths yellow. Four ears no purple, grains three-fourths yellov/. 



Plot 9. Planted with yellow grains from ear with white cob. 

 The crop was a failure, there being only three small ears; one 

 with purple cob, purplish grains and three-fourths yellow ; one
