VEGETABLES. 



All vegetables did well with the exception of beans, which were badly attacked by 

 anthracnose. Very little trouble from insect pests was experienced and altogether the 

 season may be considered a fairly good one from a vegetable growing point of view. 



The following tables give further details of the various vegetables grown. 



BEANS. 



Ten strains or varieties were tested, but as all varieties were so badly attacked 

 bv anthracnose no data were taken. 



BEETS. 



Six varieties of beets were grown and produced a good crop of shapely roots.
