The six kernels fiom one hundred and forty of the two hundred ears gave a strong, vigorous germination, and weie used for seed. The six kernels from twenty-six of the ears gTew, but showed weakness, and were discarded as unsafe, while thirty-four of the ears were thrown out as bad, one or more kernels from each ear failing to grow. If these two hundred eais had been planted without testing kernels from each ear, there would have been sixteen thousand kernels that woud not have grown, or more than enough to plant one and one-half 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 Holden, P.
