The second set of plantings, which was made on the thirtieth 

 and thirty-first of December of the same year, wes the most 

 comprehensive under taken. Fifty seeds each of the four classes 

 were planted at distances of four inches in each direction. 

 They were planted ten seeds in a row and five rows of each. 

 Around the whole were two rows planted in like manner and at 

 the same intervals to serve for guard rows. Hone of this seed, 

 sprouted. The seed of this lot were placed in pockets of sand 

 in a manner similar to that described for the following Bet. 



The third set of plantings, was made February twentieth and 

 twenty-first at the University Farm, Davis; Cal. having had to 

 wait on late rains until the soil was in proper condition. Ow- 

 ing to the slow method of placing the seed, which is described 

 later, all could not be planted the first day and rain the next 

 compelled a delay of about a week before the last could be plant- 

 ed. Fortunately this amounted to only the guard ro on either 

 end of the experiment, or rows <) and 14. The seed was planted 

 according to the following plan. Twelve seed were planted in 

 a row at intervals of four inches and the rows were planted 

 four inches apart. The rows constituted by the first and last 

 plants of all the rows are considered guarc! rows, leaving ten 

 plantfc in each row to be considered in the experiment. 



The class of seed used in each row is shown by the following;
