EXPER1 VESTAL FARMS 



2 GEORGE V., A. 1912 



KOHL-RABI. 



Sutton's Earliest White was grown and produced a good crop of fair size and 

 medium quality. 



CABBAGE. 



An excellent crop of cabbage was grown. Of the three varieties of early cabbage, 

 the Extra Early Paris Market was ready for use ten days before either of the others 

 and was of quite as good quality. The Extra Early Savoy produced larger heads, but 

 they were late and of poorer quality. 



The seed of all the varieties was started in the hotbed early in April and the young 

 plants were transplanted to the open about the first of June. A sowing of several 

 varieties was also made outside at the time of transplanting but the heads produced 

 were comparatively small and of poorer quality.

CAULIFI.OWKR. 



Cauliflower was an unusually fine crop on this Farm although there were many 

 failures reported on account of the drought and heat. Four varieties were planted 

 out from the hotbeds early in June. The latest-maturing specimens were of very 

 superior quality, particularly Sutton's White Queen. 



SQUASH, PUMPKINS, MARROWS. 



The crop of squash, pumpkins and marrows has seldom been surpassed on this 

 Farm. Nearly all varieties produced specimens of large size and excellent quality. 

 The seeds were planted about June 1, in hills eight feet apart each way, with the 

 exception of the Bush Marrows, where the hills were not so far apart. The Golden 

 Hubbard is worthy of special mention, as also is the Long White Bush Marrow, the 

 latter for its earliness.
