Third Year (1895.) The tield, the general arrangement and 

 management of the plats and the kind and amonnt of fertilizers 

 were the same as in preceding years. The plants were set out dur- 

 ing the last week in May, A considerable number of the i)lants had 

 to be reset on account of the work of the cutworm and the imperfect 

 work of the machine used in setting. 



A hailstorm passed over the field July 13th, it did but little dam- 

 age however on account of the small size of the plants. The crop 

 was harvested rather late (September 10 and 12) on account of its 

 maturing so slowly. 



The number of plants per row averaged one hundred and thirty- 

 nine, there being five rows in each plat. 



NUMBER OF PLANTS HARVESTED. 



There was on an average 695 plants in each plat ; detailed record 

 was lost.
