In these forty-six rows we note that the bloom and the silking oc- 
curred at the same time in seven rows, while in thirty-nine rows the 
bloom occurred in from one to nine days before the silk. If we con- 
sult the varieties, Sibley’s Pride of the North bloomed and silked upon 
the same day in No. 4, silked in from one to three days later than the 
bloom in No. 3 and No. 9; Minnesota Dent silked before the bloom 
two days in Nos. 2,5 and 6; from one to three days in No. 7; two 
to three days in No. 10; and from naught to two days and naught to 
three days in Nos. 8 and 15. Wysor’s Early Shoe Peg No.°16 silked 
in from six to nine days after bloom, and the Indian mound corn Nos. 
22 and 23 silked from four to six and four to seven days after bloom. 
The average appearance of the bloom was two and six-tenths days 
before the silk, the extreme being naught and nine days. 
The amount of hybridization, and its character, is given in the fol- 
lowing notes, the numbers referring to the varieties in the preceding
