Wiley, Government Chemist, for analysis. Prof. Wiley 
reports to Prof. Crandall, October 2, 1890, the following 
results:

Name of Kind. of Sugar.

Simon Le Grande_11.15 
Florimond_15.39 
Bulteau Desprez No. 1_,_15.20 
Bulteau Desprez No. 2_14.75

Later in the season, November 12, some of the same 
lot of beets were sent to Grand Island, and their chemist, 
under date of November 12, 1890, reports the following 
per cents, of sugar: 
Per Cent. 
Name of Kind. of Sugar. 
Excelsior Sugar_ 7.4 
Improved Imperial_ 8.2 
Bulteau Desprez_14.4 
Dippe’s Vilmorin_.14.7 
Kleinwanzleben_13.5 
Florimond_13.2 
Simon Le Grande_._13.5 
The analysis shows practically the same results when 
allowance is made for the fact that when sent to Wash¬ 
ington they were taken from the soil, and when sent to 
Grand Island they had been dry some time. In our 
analyses of the same, taking the average of the medium 
and small, we have: 
Name. Small. 
Bulteau Desprez No. 2__ 16.09 
Bulteau Desprez No. 1_15.97 
Kleinwanzleben_17.11 
Dippe’s Vilmorin_16.66
