The strain of Golden Bantam was not as good this season as in previous years, tlie 

 cobs, being short. The eating quality of this variety was up to its usual standard, i, e., 

 much ahead of anything else. 



Early Malcolm is a' selection of Early MalakoflF, made at the Central Experimental 

 Farm. It is recommended for early use. 



Seed purchased for Squaw corn and Early Adamis proved to be some large late 

 variety instead of what it purported to be. 



LETTUCE. 



Thirteen varieties of lettuce were sown in the garden on April 21. Some slight 

 trouble was experienced with cutworms, but this difficulty was overcome, and a good 

 test was secured.
