POT.'VTOES. 



Of elg^hteen varieties tested, the Iri;?b Cobbler was the earliest and Table Talk 

 the heaviest yielder. It is too early yet, after only three years, to say which variety 

 should be recommended. No doubt, the Irish Cobbler is bound to be popular near 

 cities, where an early crop is always a paying one. But the best-liked sorts are those 

 of the Carman type which can nearly always be depended upon to yield well and 

 which are also better keepers, in cellars, through winter, than the earlier sorts.

RADISHES. 



Of the turnip-shaped, oval, and long varieties, the firs.t are the best liked in this 

 district; amongst the early, autumn, and winter sorts, the two latter are hardly 

 known; and between the scarlet and white, the coloured ones appeal mo.st to the 

 consumer. The Early White Tipped Scarlet Turnip is probably the one which should 



Cap Rouge.
