SQUASH. 



The following varieties of squash and vegetable marrow were tested: Delicious, 

 Early White Bush Scallop, Delicata, Long White or Vegetable Marrow, Long White 

 Bush Marrow, Golden Hubbard, Summer Crookneck. 



Of these varieties the Long White Bush Marrow gave the highest yield with the 

 Delicata Squash standing second. None of these varieties obtained full maturity though 

 they were sufficiently far advanced to be suitable for use on the table. 



TOMATOES. 



Eleven varieties of tomatoes were sown in 1915. A large crop of green fruit was 

 being carried when the frost of September 13 prevented further development. 



TURXIPS, 



Eight varieties of turnips for table use were planted in heavy black loam soil in 

 1915, and all were ready for use on August 26. The following table gives the yield of 

 varieties from a 30-foot row: —
