Hot bed March 20th. 



Large but big neck. 

 Some grew to 41" diameter 



without turning green. 



Small necks. 

 Medium size. Yield good. 



Probably the Red Wether- 

 field is the best for this 

 district, as far as my 

 tests go. 



Hot bed March 2.3rd, 

 moved to field April 

 24th. Poor. 



Very hardy, large, excel- 

 lent yield.

All peas grew like weeds. 

 Exceptional yield.

 other. 



All destroyed by root 

 maggot. 



Good. 



The best for table use, 

 although large. Not a 

 bit woody. 



Fair. 



Good for stock. Average 

 62". If my figures are 

 correct the yield would 

 be about 21i tons per 

 acre. 



Fair. 



Many bad shaped roots, 

 hard sub-soil. The roots 

 averaged 13^" i 1|'. 

 Very delicate and deli- 

 cious flavour. 



Hot bed Mar. 16th-20th.

 during their outdoor 

 period.
