366 REPORT OF THE ACTING POMOLOGIST OF THE 
From the data in this table we find that the large seed gave in 
total crop 2.93 pounds more than did the small seed or 19.6 per 
cent; in weight of beans 169 pounds or 18.9 per cent;/and in 
weight of straw 1.23 pounds or 20.5 per cent; also that of the. 
product grown from the small seed sixty per cent of the total 
weight of crop was beans and fifty-nine per cent of the total 
from the large seed, leaving forty-one per cent for straw of the 
large and forty per cent for straw in the crop grown from smal 
seed. 
In 1888 the experiment was repeated and four selections made 
from the seed grown in 1887, viz., No. 1 from the largest beans 
erown from the large seed of the previous season, No. 2 was a 
selection of the largest beans grown from the small seed planted 
in 1887, No. 3 from the same lot of seed from which No. 1 was 
taken the smallest were selected, the smallest beans from the 
same seed from which No. 2 was selected were taken for No. 4. 
The seed from each was selected the same as in 1887, and care 
taken to have the separate lots as uniform as possible. Four 
one-twentieth acre plats were planted with these selections, G 1 
and 2 planted in 1887 and to these were added the two adjoining 
plats on the east, G 3 and 4. The seed was planted and cared 
for as described in the first experiment of 1887. The tables give 
the total weights of crop, weights of beans and straw grown from 
each selection. :
