EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 



Earliest of All as in former years heads the list, giving the largest amount of green fruit. 



Dominion Day, a comparatively new variety, coming next. It would appear from 

 our tests with this vegetable that in order to produce rijDe fruit every season, it would 

 be necessary to start the plants very early (say middle of March) in hotbed, and carry 

 them along in pots until quite large plants, well hardened otf are obtained, giving 

 plenty of water when planted outside, so that no check results. 



Following will be found result of the test arranged in the order of their yield. 



All were sown in boxes in hotbed on April 1, transplanted on April 15 and planted 

 out on June 11.
