The seed of the Red Fleshed Tankard failed to germinate. 



EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS. 



Twenty varieties of carrots were tested this year. They were sown alongside of 

 the mangels-, and the soil and conditions were in every respect similar. Two plots of 

 each sort were sown, in drills 2 feet apart, the first series of plots were sown April 25 

 and the second on May 9, and all pulled November 5. As in previous years ths stump 

 rooted sorts gave the best yield and are more desirable because easier to pull and less 

 liable to break in handling. The yield is computed from 60 feet of the two centre rows 

 in each plot.
