It will be seen that I do not charge any of the work of 

 applying the fertilizer as I consider that the land is enough 

 better to oif-set that. Nor do I charge the crop with the plants 

 set, as I do not credit it with the plants taken to set this year. 

 The variety is mainly Wilson's Albany, although several 

 other varieties were raised. I can here give the products of 

 the different varieties. 



1 bed Monarchs, 305 ft. long, 5 ft. wide. Product, 204 bxs. 



2 beds Col. Cheney's 204 " '' 3 " " " 365 " 



1 bed Chas. Downing's 170 " " 4 " " " 74 '' 



2 beds Crescent Seedling 204 " " 3" " " 350" 

 30 " Wilson's Albany 250 " " 3| " " " 6068 " 



This gives the Wilson's Albany about 63 boxes to the rod.

The above account is made up from the number of rods in a 

 bed, solid, the paths excluded. As to the varieties, I have 

 always contended that the Wilson was far ahead of all others,
