,  =_‘    culture, of the variety "Colmans." Two lotsswere planted; _
    ._ _   " il - one in acre J, from seleoted head No. 6049, 1893; the other from `
¥ i J I     Y _ g'   mixed seed of heads Nos. 6360-6369, 1893, in acre N. Numbers
  `_ {if-}   2616 and 2617 were collected October 10th, and 2618 and 2619
