Vegetables. 



Many experiments have been conducted with a large number 

 of varieties of vegetables, among others the determining of the 

 relative values of varieties from the standpoints of earliness, 

 yield and quality. Potatoes, peas and tomatoes have received 

 more attention, perhaps, than others. Many cultural experi- 

 ments with potatoes have been tried, including kinds of sets to 

 plant, depth of planting and change of seed. Trial shipments 

 of tomatoes have been made to Great Britain. 



An especial feature of the work at present is the develop- 

 ment of early and, it is hoped, better, strains of vegetables, 

 including peas, corn, beans, melons and tomatoes.
