Xarietiea, tbe otker sorts falling almotit totally. 

 Th« Btand iB good. 



F^nlej — There is a small acreage; Beveral 

 varieties have omly beea planted on a small 

 scale; some have not been planted at all. Tbe 

 stand is rather good. 



I'arsnip — Tbe plaatations are rather small and 

 the crop will not be a heavy one. 



I'cas, wrinliled peas and sugar peas — The 

 plantings of the round, as well as of the wrin- 

 kled varieties, are limited. The early sorts ot 

 sugar (teas are onl7 sown out on a small scale; 

 the acreage devoted to the later sorts is still 

 smaller. (Generally speaking, the stand may be 

 called satisfactory for all varieties. 



Undish and winter radish — There are small 

 plantings, so that of many varieties only u small 

 crop will be karvestcd. Up until now tlie stand 

 is good. 



Savoy — There is a small acreage, showing a 

 satisfactory stand up until now. 



Sorrel and scorisonera — Tliere is a limited area, 

 with a good stand. 



Spinach — The plantings of this article have 

 been considerably limited. The growth is not 

 a hcavj' one, although, in general, the prospects 

 lire good. 



Swede turnip or rutabaga — There are almost 

 no plantings of this iirticle, as the results of 

 recent years have been unsatisfactory for the 

 growers. 



Swiss chard — There is !i small area, but a 

 promising, satisfactory crop. 



Turnii) — 'J"he growers, as a rule, wore not in- 

 clined to grow this article, on account of tlie 

 fuct that the prices of last year did not pay for 

 the liibi)r it required. Moreover, some patches 

 have been plowed up. Generally speaking, a 

 good crop can be expected, although the pods 

 are attacktxl by the worms here and there.
