OXIOXS. 



The red varieties are more popular in this district than the j'ellow ones, and the 

 Wethersfield is the one to be recommended. A strain of this variety wa* the earliest 

 ready for market, and the best yielder, in 1913, of eleven strains and varieties tested. 

 An advantage of the red varieties over the yelloAv ones is that, in this climate, the.v 

 keep better through winter.
