Adaptability of varieties. — Some varieties 
seem particularly adapted to a wide range of 
conditions, while others are less so. A few va- 
rieties are given here, as having been grown in 
the States in which they are listed, and witha 
degree of success such as will justify their cul- 
ture. Most of the tests were made at or under 
the supervision of an agricultural experiment 
station, from the publications of which much 
of the data is secured, Where the information 
is apparently reliable the varieties are named 
from most to least productive.
