192 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I914. 



The other three varieties named above are more variable in 

 their characters but nevertheless they appear to be very well 

 adapted to our conditions. 



Of the varieties tested less than four years the Early Pearl 

 appears to be the most promising. The Siberian and Minne- 

 sota No. 26 also yielded very well in 1913. 



It is expected to continue these tests and to publish the results 

 from time to time. The performance of these varieties will 

 form a standard with which the yield of new varieties originated 

 in our breeding work may be compared.
