RADISH. 



Only one variety was grown, Early Scarlet White Tipped; this proved fairly sat- 

 isfactory. 



SQUASH. 



Ten varieties of squash were tested of which Golden Hubbard, Delicata, Delicious 

 and Heart of Gold were the most satisfactory from a culinary point of view; the long 

 white vegetable mairows are out of favour and cannot be given away in this district. 

 The seeds were sown in strawberry boxes May 5, and planted out in the open ground 

 June 18. . .
