VEGETABLES (IRRIGATED). 



Between the slow and poor germination caused by the dry weather, and attacks 

 by cutworms, the vegetable garden did not give the results that might otherwise 

 have been the case. 



BEANS. 



Seven varieties were tested. They were planted May 16. A good crop was pro- 

 duced but none was matured at the time of killing frost.

BEETS. 



Three varieties, Meteor, Early Blood Bed Turnip and Ruby Dulcet, were planted 

 April 10. The first of these ready for use was the Meteor on July 20. Only a poor 

 stand was obtained owing to the dry weather and the cutworms. 



CABBAGE. 



Sixteen varieties were tested. The seed was sown in the hotbed April 16. The 

 plants were set out in the garden May 30. Two rows, each 30 feet long; 30 plants, 

 24 inches apart in the rows; rows, 30 inches apart, were planted of each variety. The 

 first variety that was ready for use was the Early Paris Market on July 27.
