and quality of grain was very sweet." (28) "This corn was the finest 1 have 

 ever raised, the plant was six feet tall with three ears on most plants. The 

 ear was good size with large white grains and very well filled out. Flavor 

 very good." (29) "The corn was very sweet-flavored." (30) "The plant 

 was very vigorous and thrifty and a rapid grower, securing an early start. 

 The grain was very regular." (31) "The corn grew finely, the stalks being 

 over six feet tall. The kernel was quite regular in shape. A very s^veet 

 variety." (32) "This variety was larger in girth and taller than most kinds 

 of sugar corn; grain was large and firm. The plant was very prolific. I 

 pronounce it a fine variety of corn and have saved seed." (33) "This corn 

 was of excellent quality, tender and sweet." (34) "This corn is a vigorous 

 grower, every stalk havmg an ear on it. Ear was small but well filled with 

 grains to the end."^ (35) "The corn was good. I think it is a fine variety." 

 (36) "Each stalk produces one full-sized ear of corn, well filled with deep 

 grains of fine flavor and very sweet. I am very much pleased with this 

 corn." {27) "1 planted the corn in my garden and of the different kinds I 

 had I think the 'Golden Bantam-Stowell's Evergreen' was the best, sweetest 

 and most tender." (38) "I had a very good crop, uniform in size, ears from 

 six to eight inches long." (39) "The corn was all you claimed for it, the 

 stalks were strong and of good height and quite productive. The ears were 

 of medium size and very sweet." (40) "The ears were large and the quality 

 of the grain was fine." (41) "The ears were of large size, uniform in shape 

 and had good large grains. The quality of the grain is very sweet." (42) 

 "This made a good stalk for a sweet corn." (43) "For table use it is surely 

 fine." (44) "The corn was excellent, of good size, very sweet, uniform and 

 productive." (45) "The stalks were about seven to eight feet high, the ear 

 nice and round and about ten to twelve inches long, grain very sweet. 1 

 think for my taste it is about as fine as I ever ate." (46) "The corn did 

 fine and was very early. The ears were of good size, deep grains and very 

 sweet and fine taste." (47) "This is an early sort with good-sized, twelve- 

 rowed ears and stalks that grew six to seven feet in height." (48) "The 

 corn grew about five feet high ; the ears were set low down and were of good 

 size and fine flavor." (49) "The plant was five feet high and of vigorous 

 growth. Ear was of medium size, one to a stalk. Quality extremely sweet 

 and uniformly good." (50) "Stalks were seven to eight feet high and the 

 ears were six to seven inches long. Quality excellent, nearly equal to pure 

 'Bantam' with advantage of having large ear." (51) "I will say that the 

 corn was fine, the stalks were medium-sized and the largest ear was eight 

 inches long. Altogether, I am very much pleased with this variety as it is 

 sweet and grows to a good size." (52) "The plant was vigorous and of 

 good shape. Some of the ears were one foot long and some smaller. The 

 quality of the grain is all right." (53) "The corn was fine. We were for- 

 tunate and planted it on low moist ground and it grew fine and quickly. 

 We were very much pleased with it." (54) "The corn came up well and 

 made a strong growth to about five feet high, the ears were well formed 

 and there were two or more on most of the stalks, which were well filled 

 out to the end of cob. It has an extra fine flavor." 



CORN UPON THE STRIP LAND. 



The three "Strips," three hundred feet long and forty-five feet 

 wide, bore each three blocks of corn, namely, ( i ) at the east end, 

 (2) the middle and (3) the west end, respectively. Each block 

 consisted of six rows of fifteen hills each, or a total of ninety 

 hills. Each block had two halves of three rows each and the 

 western half was planted with an early maturing sort, while the 

 eastern half had a slower growing cross. All planting was done 

 on IVIay 12th.
