CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER. 
A continuation of the comparative tests of home-grown an 
imported seed, begun last season, has been carried on this se 
of a given number of seeds of some of the varieties, notably ‘ 
Improved Jersey Wakefield, the results do not show that any 
its maximum growth, the record of earliness has been omitted, but 
there was little difference in the time of edible maturity of the — 
cauliflowers or between the early varieties of cabbage. In order 
to make the test as complete as possible two plantings of each 
were made. Those for the first crop were set out April twenty- 
nine and those for the second crop July eight. The late set 
plants of each variety were a continuation of the rows of those 
set early. The results seem to show that neither the Long Islan 
nor the Puget Sound grown seed are in any way inferior to the 
imported, and as it can be grown and sold cheaper than the 
imported seed, there is no doubt that the industry of growing 
those seeds will be developed to quite an extent.
