Note. I cannot estimate the value of the cabbages, as I use them 

 for seed, and are therefore of more value to me, than for market. 



This is to certify that I have measured a piece of land 

 for David Warren, containing one-half acre, and find, by 

 counting some rows, and estimating from them, that there- 

 are about 3000 saleable cabbage on the half acre.

statement of a crop of cabbage, raised by FREDERICK 



A. RUSSELL, OF METHUEN, SEASON OF 1894. 

 The Committee on Root Crops : 



The piece of late cabbage which I enter for premium^ 

 contains one-half acre. In 1892 the land was sowed to 

 parsnips. About fifteen cords of manure per acre were 

 used. In 1893 the crops were parsnips and cucumbers. 

 Treatment Jibout the same as in 1892. In 1894 five load& 

 of stable manure were drawn from the city, on sled, in the 

 month of February, and spread broadcast on the snow. 

 June 14, the land was plowed, and nine hundred pounds 

 of Bradley's potato and vegetable manure, applied broad- 

 cast and harrowed in. June 15, the land was marked in 

 rows three feet apart, with an Aspinwall potato planter 

 and three Jiundred pounds of Bradley's potato and vege- 

 table manure applied in the drill.
