All four selections were grown in 1908. All were omitted in 1909 

 but reinstated in 1910. The number was decreased thereafter by 

 the elimination of the least promising until only two remained in 

 1914, after which these also were discarded. In spite of continued 

 selection, none of them showed any positive value either in productive- 

 ness, earliness, or dwarfness. The results obtained in the six years 

 are shown in Table XV.
