You see the datee on the cards, showing time of growth—and the King on new ground Is No. t; not as early as the Robinson on older ground. The first three hills of the latter which I stepped up to test had three stalks In each hill, and there were nine ears on the three hills, every ear as fine as the two sent you (10 Inches long). I came near sending the nine ears, but decided to get two of the King that you might examine and compare. The Robinson has been raised on my place now for four years and will be the only kind planted next year. Of course as we have not begun husking 1 can only estimate relative amounts, but it seems to promise at least 25 per cent more yield than the King.
