Cabbage. 



ISTine varieties of cabbage were tested, but on account of the excessive dry weather 

 it could scarcely be considered a fair test. 



Mammoth Rock Red. — About 70 per cent of this variety headed out, good colour 

 red to the centre, heads firm, a good red variety. 



Marblehead Mammoth. — Fifty per cent of these headed, but were poor specimen*. 



Savoy. — This variety did fairly well, heads very curly and fine flavoured, but it has 

 not good keeping qualities. 



World Beater. — Not large, but all headed, and were firm and sound. 



Burpee's All Head. — Sound, firm heads, similar to World Beater, both in earliness 

 and appearance. 



Louderbach. — Good solid heads, though small, heads flat and fine flavour. 



All were sown in hot beds on 21st April, and transplanted to the garden 23rd June.

Onions. 



This, we are convinced, is a vegetable that will pay well. All the varieties were 

 sown on 20th April in the open ground in drills 1 foot apart. 



Fancy Yellow Globe Danvers. — A splendid onion, similar to Yellow Globe Danvers, 

 ripens early and thoroughly, attractive in appearance, a first-class onion for Manitoba. 



Oregon Long Keeper. — A yellow Globe onion of good appearance, ripened well 

 with us. 



Large Red Weather sfield. — An old standard variety, a good keeper of fine flavour. 



Yellow Globe Danvers. — This variety has been grown here for a number of years, is 

 a first rate keeper, one of the best varieties for this country.
