SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



Nearly all varieties of vegetables suffered from the dry weather in July, beans 

 and tomatoes excepted. No frost injured the garden stuff, and all varieties sown 

 matured with the exception of melons and the ordinary varieties of table corn. The 

 native variety (Squaw Corn), as usual, ripened. More tomatoes ripened in the open 

 than in any previous year. 



ASPARAGUS. 



A good crop was obtained from the old beds of Barr's Mammoth, Barr's Elmira 

 and Conover's Colossal. In use from May 13 to July 9.
