Experiments with Sweet Corn in 1904. 



During the present season an extended study of the varieties of 

 sweet corn was made with a \'iew of breeding and selecting for 

 better sorts, particularly for the early crop. To this end one hun- 

 dred numbers have been grown. In some instances the same 

 variety is represented by two or more numbers with the hope of 

 detecting differences due to locality from which the seed was 

 obtained. The following is the list, the varieties being arranged 

 alphabetically as nearly as possible, followed by the source of the 

 seed used, and various results obtained during the experiment: 



In the list the letters under the head of "Mixing" are as fol- 

 lows : B, black ; \\'. white ; F, flint, and Y, yellow. And for 

 "Maturity." VE, very early; E. early; ME, medium early; M, 

 medium; L, late; AIL, medium late; and VL, very late.
