decay is co-related with any particular character of the tuber or 
plant. A comparison of the amount of decay with the vigor of 
plant, productiveness and season of maturity, in the varieties of the 
first planting, elicits some interesting facts. From our notes on the 
foliage we are able to divide the varieties with respect to their vigor 
of growth, into four classes, viz: those of feeble growth, those of 
moderately vigorous growth, those very vigorous, and those most 
vigorous. We present the table classified in this manner, giving 
the yields (ounces omitted), the number of days from planting to 
complete death of the foliage, and the per cent. of decay in each of 
the varieties planted May 1st, as follows:
