THE STEMS 



SWAN 



* A few ears were produced in September and October 1915 by these plants, but 

 most in June of the following season 1916. 



t Ears were produced late in September, but did not ripen, and died off in 1916. 



J These plants formed dense leafy tufts in 191 6, from which were sent up a few culms 

 late in September and October. 



Sown before the end of February, this form produced ears which ripened in the same 

 season : sown later than this, few or no ears were produced or ripened until the succeed- 

 ing season.
