In the springr of 1907, the Experimental Union distributed three varie-ties of late, three varieties of medium, and seven varieties of early potatoesfor co-operative experiments. Only two varieties were sent to each experi-menter, but as the same varieties were sent to each experimenter with eachclass of potatoes, a basis was formed for summarizing: the results given inthe reports. A very large number of applications were received and up-wards of four hundred first-class reports were sent to us this autumn, andhave been embodied in the summary presented in the following table :.

Of thelate varieties, the Empire State has been included in the co-operative ex-periments for a number of years, but the Vermont Gold Coin and the Car-man No. 1 were distributed in the spring of 1907 for the first time. TheEmpire State variety, which is probably grown more extensively throughoutOntario at the present time than any other variety with the exception ofthe Rural New Yorker No. 2, is a very excellent potato
