ONIONS (In Rows 250 Feet Long). 



One row of onion sets was planted on Alay 25. While none attained a large size, 

 those on high ground grew slightly above medium size, developed and ripened fairly 

 well. ;Most of those on lower ground were worthless. The yield was l^/i; bushels. 



Two varieties of onion seed were so^vn on May 26, namely one row each of Red 

 Cracker and Yellow Cracker. Very few merchantable bulbs were raised from either 

 variety. Botli varieties, as well as those raised from sets, were considerably 

 damaged by maggots. 



CABBAGE (In Rows 250 Feet Long, 3V^ Feet Apart). 



Cutworm? and green cabbage worms did considerable damage to both the early 

 and late variety. E.xcessive rains did less damage to the early variety planted on 

 higher ground. The late variety was planted on the lowest ground of the south 

 side plots and the yield cannot be considered more than 20 per cent of a normal 

 crop. 



One row of the early variety was planted on May 23 and ripened from August 

 15 to 20. Tlie yield was 230 lbs., making a yield of 7 tons per acre. Five rows of 

 the late variety were planted on June It) and ripened very slowly after September 

 25. The yield was 320 lbs., giving an approximate yield of barely 1% tons per acre. 



CELERY (In Rows 350 Feet Long). 



Two varieties were planted June 20 on low bottom land, namely one row of Golden 

 Self-Blanching and one row of White Plume. From shortly after planting until 

 bleaching time the ground remained in a condition unfit for cultivation, the plants 

 often standing in water from two to five days at a time, although the ground had 

 been well prepared and thoroughly loosened by plowing twelve inches deep. The 

 Golden Self-Blanching became practically valueless. The White Plume remained 

 imdersized, except a small portion of it on slightly elevated ground, which attained 

 a height of 20 to 30 inches. The abnormal weather conditions did not otherwise 

 affect the plants which possessed that rich llavor characteristic of northern climates.
