1 The results for 1911 are not included, as some of the series were not grown that year. 
2 Averages based on the series as a unit. 
Table IV gives some indication of the relative value at the Cornell 
station of the different hybrids and commercial varieties as stocks 
from which to make selections. The highest average yield for any 
series for the five years was that of series 31, Burt X Red Rustproof, 
55 bushels, due largely to a very heavy yield in 1908. The next 
highest average yield, 54 bushels, was obtained from series 50, Sixty- 
Day X Probsteier, of which from 11 to 13 selections were grown each 
year, whereas only two selections from series 31 were grown. It is 
probable that series 50 is more valuable for New York than series 31 ; 
in fact, two selections from the former exceeded the best selections 
from the latter in average yield for the five years. Other valuable 
hybrid stocks, as indicated in Table IV, are series 33, Burt X Burt, 
and series 49, Sixty-Day X Clydesdale. Among the individual selec- 
tions, some of the highest yielding ones are included in series 34,
