EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



CABBAGE. 



The largest number of varieties of cabbage grown thus far were seeded in 1915 

 and the yield proved quite satisfactory. There was some injury from cutworm, but this 

 was not so serious as to interfere to any extent with the yield. The following table 

 gives the results for the past season and the average yield from ten heads of these 

 varieties for the past five years in every instance where a variety has been grown for 

 that length of time : —

CELERY. 



Seed of eight varieties of celery was sown in the hotbed on May 4, pricked out into 

 the cold frame on June 7 and each seeded in the open on July 20. The growth of celery 

 was not as satisfactory as many of the other vegetables and the size of the heads pro- 

 duced was comparatively small. The table given herewith shows the yield for 30 plants 

 for the past five years, and the average for that period.
