SUMMARY. 



Observations : ( i ) Plants from seed from the middle of pod 

 j^enerally bear earlier than seed from the stem or tip ends ; plants 

 from seed from the stem end are the latest bearers. (2) Plants 

 from seed from the stem end of pod generally have a longer ma- 

 turity period than those from seed from the midde or tip-end; 

 plants from seed from the middle have the shortest maturity 

 period. (3) Plants from seed from the stem end of pod are 

 generally taller than those from the middle or tip end seeds; 

 seeds from the tip end produce the shortest plants. (4) Plants 

 from seed from the middle of pod generally produce fewer pods
