Plot IV. the six numbers 98 to 126. There were, therefore, three 

 plots with plants from red fruits and one plot with plants from yellow 

 fruits. Each parent number was assigned to a belt and was repre- 

 sented by ten plants. 



The following table is made up from the results of each set of 

 plants : 



Plot IV. , bearing the yellows, is perhaps the least congenial soil 

 for tomatoes, and this may account for the somewhat smaller average 

 for the last six lots of plants. The following table shows grand 

 averages for the four plots : 



Plot 1 64— 90 



Plot 2 78—102 



Plot 3 63—108 



Plot 4 54— 75

The full record of each of the 240 plants, considered in brief above, 

 is kept on file, in which the time when each fruit was picked is given 

 and the earliness or lateness of the plant, along with its productive- 

 ness, are a matter for reference.
