YIELDS AND VARIETIES. 
The following table gives for each variety under test the date 
of coming into bloom, date of first and last pickings and total 
yield in ounces. As indicated in this table, the yield varied from 
422 ounces with the most productive variety, to 44 ounces with 
the least productive variety. While with many varieties the yield 
was greatly reduced through frost injury to the blossoms, with 
others there was an abundant crop in spite of the late freezes. 
The wide range in productiveness shown by the different varieties 
in this test is a good example of the great difference in varieties 
in their ability to withstand unfavorable conditions.
