The  results  are  given  in  Table  IX.,  above.  In  the  earlier 
years  (1900,  1901)  the  “giant”  vai’ieties  gave  the  highest 
return,  but  in  1902  the  English  “common”  variety  yielded 
best.  This  has  been  substantially  maintained  in  1903,  but 
more  marked  has  been  the  superiority  of  both  English  varieties 
to  the  French  ones ; the  latter  are  becoming  much  infested 
with  weeds  and  will  probably  not  last  more  than  another  season.
