Here again the result is practically the same in the two plots. 



If we now take the totals of the six pljts on which the seed was 

 inoculated, and compare with the totals of those where the seed was not 

 inoculated, we have : —

In the case of every variety, as well as in the aggregate, the weight of 

 the produce from the inoculated seed was less than that from the 

 untreated, though in one case there was a slight increase in the number 

 of pods. This consistent though slight decrease is possibly without 

 significance, but the fact is very clearly demonstrated that inoculation is 

 likely to result in no benefit whatever in a thoroughly well cultivated 

 garden soil, even when the soil is as poor as that of Wisley. 



In the last table (Table G) the totals given included those from the 

 soil that had been inoculated (see Table A), and if we leave these out the 

 result tells precisely the same tale, the totals being, from the inoculated 

 seed, 13.589 pods, weighing 125,991 grammes, and containing 50,121 

 grammes of peas, and, from the inoculated seeds 12,U64 pods, weighing 

 11H.0 16 grammes, containing 47,520 grammes of peas. Thus there was 

 a decrease from the inoculated seed of 5 per cent, in the number of pods,
