BEETS. 



Seven sorts were sown. All did well, but Edmonds Early and Black Knight 

 were the best for the table. 



The seven kinds were also transplanted. When so treated they grew larger 

 than those left in the beds where sown, but were not fit for table use. 



CAULIFLOWERS. 



Twenty-two varieties were tested and a great difference in value was noted. 

 Giant White Pearl and Thorburn's Large Early Dwarf Erfurt, Early Snowball and 

 Gilt Edged Snowball being the best. Some others were as early but the flowers 

 were small and open. Short Stemmed La Norraande made large flowers but the 

 colour was bad. All the late varieties gave good promise, but were destroyed by 

 frost in September when beginning to make head.
