As an appendix to ray statement of cabbage crop I offer 

 you the following account of two rows planted at the same 

 time, and having exactly the same care as the rest of the 

 field. There are cabbages or rather plants of all sizes, 

 shapes and colors and if I had depended on either kind of 

 seed my whole crop would have been a failure. 

 1st, 50 hills Tillinghast's " Puget Sound." Premium 



Flat Dutch — 5 good heads. 

 2d, 71 hills. The same Late Am. Drum Hd.— 4. 

 3d, 15 hills Dept. Ag. U. S. Fottler's Brunswick, — not a 



decent head nor a typical F. B. 

 4th, Henderson's Selected Late Flat Dutch (15 hills), 



small and poor, no good heads. 

 5th, Stone Mason, "Boston Mkt. Stock" from Parker & 



Wood, 15 hills, — 3 pretty good heads.

statement of cyrus k. ordway & son, of west new- 

 bury, on carrot crop. 

 To the Committee on Root Crops — Essex Agricultural 

 Society : 



Messrs : 



The crop of Carrots which I offer for premium was raised 

 on land which, previous to 1883, had been used as a cow 

 pasture for many years. The soil is gravelly loam.
