EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



There were no rotten potatoes and very few scabby ones. 



All the varieties were planted on the 21st May, in black loam soil, without manure, 

 *nd were dug 29th September. 



The yield per acre has been estimated in each case fnm the product of one row, 66 

 feet long. 



The following varieties germinated badly and the returns given from them should 

 not be considered a fair test of their productiveness : Pearce's Prize Winner, Lee's 

 Favourite, Good News, Early White Prize, Honeoye Rose, Orphan's, Beauty of Hebron, 

 Albany No. 1, Daisy, Lightning Express, Early Ohio and I.X.L.
