The attention of farmers and vegetable growers, in the vicinity of Ottawa, is 

 called to these two tables. It will be noted that the commoner varieties, such as 

 Green Mountain, Gold Coin and Dreer Standard are not in the lead, either in the 

 four-year average or the one year list. In both tables the leading or heaviest yielding 

 varieties correspond fairly well, indicating quite clearly that for this district these 

 varieties are the most adaptable. That is, when the seed is grown from year to year 

 in this district, these •varieties appear to be tfhe ones which can maintain their relative 

 productiveness, while other varieties gradually grow less productive. This would 

 indicate that certain varieties are better suited to certain localities, and, that because 

 a variety does well in New Brunswick, it does not necessarily indicate that the same 

 variety will do well at Ottawa, even if the same strain is planted in both places, 



Ott^\wa.
