 in on the 24th of May; soil a clay loam; held was sown with roots in 1889. 

 Twenty-thiee varieties have also been raised from seed on this farm, and will be 

 tcbted next season; in all, 101 different sorts were grown this year. A number of 

 'varieties were tested during winter to ascertain their cooking qualities.
