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. :
