one other is marked “10” (the highest grade in table qual- 
ity). Its average yield is given at 375.1 bushels per acre, 
the popular “Early Sunrise” in same test being given at 
197.5 bushels, and the “Belle” at 125.07 bushels. These fig- 
ures are taken from the published report, and giust be ac- 
cepted as an entirely disinterested opinion. The report 
says: “The. testing of quality was done in December and 
January, after the varieties had been put into winter quar- 
ters. Charles Downing and Snowflake heads the list, aud 
are the only ones graded 10. They are about equally early, 
the former apparently is more productive than the latter.”

Downing. Strong, nearly erect, growth 22 inches high, 
foliage green, smooth, and medium size, little scattered In 
the hill, smooth, bright color. Cook test: Skin broke well 
in boiling; firm white flesh, flavor and grain excellent;
