unable to withstand the winters. The McGehee White was-defective in having a

nean proved to be an excellent variety and deserves attention by the farmers of the eae 
State. Of the three other varieties sent out by the United States Department of — 
Agriculture, the German Emperor is a very promising variety. The Mediterranean Hi 
Hybrid yielded more than any variety. ‘Tt certainly is very promising and the *Y x
