VEGETABLE GAEDEN. 



The tests made the past year with vegetables were on the whole very satisfactory. 



Onions, carrots, beets and cabbage were sown or planted in duplicate plots. The 

 one had vegetables the previous year, and was manured and ploughed after the vege- 

 tables were taken up. The second plot was fallowed in 1904. As will be observed, the 

 vegetables on the fallowed plot gave the largest return. 



Asparagus. 



There was a good crop from the old beds of asparagus ; in use May 14 to July 13. 

 The varieties grown are Barr's Mammoth, Barr's Elmira and Conover's Colossal.
