5 GEORGE v.. A. 1915 

 ASPARAGUi3; 



The bed of asparagus that was planted in 1910 has made good headway and gave 

 a much larger yield than the previous year. 



BEETS. 



]V[cteor again led the list of table beets, as it did last year, Early Dark Red 

 Turnip and Early Blood Red Turnip being the first ready for the table. 



BEANS. 



The dull weather was favourable to the growth of the enemies of the bean«. 

 Anthracnose again did much damage. During the very wet autumn many of the 

 beans were destroyed by mildew. There was an excellent crop of green beans and 

 the quality good. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



The crop of Brussels sprouts was quite satisfactory. Dwarf Improved was the 



variety grown. 



CABBAGE. 



Sixteen varieties of cabbage all gave splendid returns. Even the earliest were 

 late this season. The only injury recorded was from club-root, which was introdvieed 

 through the soil of the hotbed. 



CAULIFLOWER. 



Very fine heads of cauliflower were grown; the Early Snowball was considered 

 best. 



CARROTS. 



As already mentioned, the carrots were very little better than a failure except 

 where we used tobacco water to destroy the Carrot Rust Fly larva^. French Horn 

 gave the best yields. 



CUCUMBERS. 



This was the most favourable season for cucumbers that we remember. They 

 were fit for use on the 23rd of August and, though partly killed on the 30th of Sep- 

 tember, good fruit was picked from them as late as the last of October. Cool' and 

 (,^risp led Peerless White Spine by a small margin. These two were much the 

 heaviest croppers. 



CORN. 



On the 7th of September the first corn (Early jMalcolm) was ready for use. On the 

 17th of October the following varieties that were fit for use at that time were 

 harvested: Early Malcolm, Early Iowa, Fordhook Early, Perkins Early, Golden 

 Bantam, and Extra Early Adams; these were fit to use in the order named. Those 

 tliat matured fit for use in the shock were Black Mexican and Henderson's Metro- 

 politan. No ears ripened. 



LETTUCE. 



Among the many excellent varieties of lettuce grown, Grand Rapids was the best 

 ;^i!d most satisfactory. 



ONIONS. 



Onions that were sown early did very well. The Large Red Wethersfield gave the 

 ' est returns. Danvers Yellow Globe also matured good onions.
