It is well to record quite minute details as to the peculiarities or charac- teristics of each ear planted in the special plot. The recording of such de- tails necessitates a careful examination of each ear and assists m eliminating the danger of planting ears of different types. For this purpose special blank forms are supplied each grower in early spring. 4.

Where the stand is uneven, certain plants may receive an advantage over others and consequently produce ears which are abnormal. Such ears, when met with, should not be selected for planting on the seed plot of the following Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Seed Growers' Association.
