 of times of any variety, 14. It stood at the foot of 

 the list three times and in the final average of all 

 tests takes second place. Day's Leafless Medium 

 headed the list the second largest number of times,

 Black Turtle Soup bean, though not largely grown, 

 seems to be a large yielder in localities adapted to it, 

 but very uncertain in others.
