GARDEN VEGETABLES. 



The cold, drying winds and lack of rain throughout the spring kept the surface 

 of the ground so dry that small seeds failed to germinate or grew very feebly, and the 

 garden vegetables were a comparative failure. 



Table Beets — Sown May 3. 



Extra Early Egyptian Blood Turnip. — A very poor stand. Only a very few seeds 

 germinated and they grew very slowly. Fit for the table August 10, but not of high 

 quality. 



Early Blood Turnip. — Sown May 3. A poor stand. Fit for the table August 15; 

 of fair quality. 



Long Blood. — Sweet and pleasant; of very good quality. A good keeper for win- 

 ter use. 



Table Turnips — Sown May 3. 



Extra Early White Milan. — The seed germinated well and the turnips were fit 

 for the table on June 13. Very sweet and pleasant in flavour. 



Early Snowball. — An even stand. Turnips, small but crisp, sweet and very good.
