Taking into account not only the percentage of resin, but 

 the aroma and general condition, Mr. Chapman considered 

 in 1898 that the best samples were those grown on Plots 

 X, S, C, A, and B. He placed them in this order, but 

 observed that there was practically very little difference 

 between these five samples. He placed the sample from 

 Plot D next in value, and last those from E and F, which 

 he considered to be inferior in value to the others. 



The hop factors, who had the duplicate set of 1898 samples, 

 placed B, C, D, and X together, as worth j 2s. per cwt., 

 placing A, E, F, and S in a somewhat lower class, but valu- 

 ing them at 6 153. to 6 i8s. in the then current market. 



In the case of the 1899 samples, the question of quality 

 possessed, from the point of view of our experiments, even 

 more interest than in 1898, since, from the yields of the plots, 

 it was quite clear that some of the nitrate used must, in this 

 season, have been superfluous as mere plant food, and the
