Three lots gave as a mean of 13 analyses during 20 days : Sucrose, 

 15.70; glucose, 0.36 ; purity, 77.66. Six hundred and ninety seed selec- 

 tions were made from these lots. 



Some of these crosses produced unusually fine canes, maturing in 

 good season, and it is believed two or three valuable new varieties may 

 result from these selections. 



Variety No. 350. 



[Is same type as Link's Hybrid, slightly crossed with orange; seed lighter color.] 

 [Average samples.] 



* Eleven lots, Nos. 23, 208 to 215, 446, and 555. 



MEAN VALUE OF SEED SELECTIONS. 

 [Total number of single canes analyzed, 756.] 



VARIETY NO. 373. 



In 1888 an apparently blighted seed top was noticed, having very few 

 seeds, which were planted in lot 373 in 1889. The canes in this lot were 

 about half of them seedless, the remaining heads being heavy and of 

 unknown type. By repeated selections an unmixed and nearly seed- 

 less variety has been produced. This variety is interesting, as it indi- 

 cates that sorghum may be bred in extreme lines in different directions.
