RADISH, Early Fkench Bueakfast. 



Next to the parsnips the radishes gave the best lesulls ; they grew 

 rapidly, the electric gardoi always ahead ; the tops were rank tind 

 the roots were crisp. July 12th the entire crop was hurvested, care- 

 fully washed and weighed with the following showing : 



With electricity. Without electricity, 



lbs. ozs. lbs. ozs. 



5 4 Roots, 4 'I 



4 5 Tops, 2 14 



9 9 Total, 7 



Or 2 pounds, 9 ounces, in favor of electricity. 



The twelve largest roots from the electric garden, with ihe tops, 

 weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces ; without the tops, 3-4 pound. The 

 twelve largest roots from the non-electric garden, with the tops, 

 weighed 1 pound, 3 ounces ; without the tops, 3-4 pound ; that is, in 

 this case, no difference was found in the weight of the roots. 



ONION, New Peahl. 



The onion plants came up in both beds and grew finely for a time, 

 then blasted and not one developed, either electric or non electric, 

 this being the only rase of all the vegetables tested where no tangible 

 results were obtained. 



RADISH, White Stkasburg. 



The White Strasburg Radish seemed to do better than the P'arly 

 French Breakfast Radish ; they grew faster and developed more 

 rapidly, and on June 8th the best radishes to be found in each plot 

 were pulled, washed and weighed. It was found that the six largest 

 roots taken from the electric plot weighed two ounces more than the 

 six largest taken from the non-t^lectric plot. They were larger indi- 

 vidually, the tap root longer, the flesh of a finer flavor, of better 

 quality, more brittle, and in every way superior to those raised with- 

 out the aid of electricity. Fig. 2 shows the seven largest electric 

 radishes, and Fig. 3 gives a view of the six largest non-electric 

 radishes pulled on this date. Again, on July 11th, six radishes were 

 taken from the same rows and the scales showed an increased weight
