 Tlie titaud i» good. 



rarelejr — There Is u Bmall acreage; several 

 varieties have oal/ tN^ea planted on a small 

 scale; some have not boon planted at all. Tht- 

 stand is rather good. 



I'ursnii) — 'I'he plaatations are rather small and 

 the crop will not be a heavy one. 



I'cas, wrinkled peas and KUjjar peas — The 

 plantings of the round, aa well us of the wrin- 

 kled varieties, are limited. The early sorts of 

 sugar peas are only sown out on a small scale: 

 the acreage devoted to the later sorts is still 

 smaller, (ienerally speaking, the stand may be 

 called satisfactory for all varieties. 



Uadish and winter radish — There are small 

 (ilantings, so that i>f many varieties only a small 

 <rop will be karvested. Up until now the stand 



is gO<Mj. 



Savoy — There is a small acreage, showing a 

 satisfactory stand up until now. 



Soricl and scorzonera — There is a limited area. 

 \vi(h a good stand. 



Spinach — The plantings of this article have 

 been Cdnsiderably limited. The growth is not 

 a lie.ivy one, although, ia general, the prospects 

 are good. 



Swede turnip or rutat)aga — There are almost 

 no plantings of this article, as the results of 

 recent years have been unsatisfactory for the 

 gri)W(U"s. 



Swiss chard—There is a small area, but a 

 pnunising, satisfactory crop. 



Turnip -'I'he growers, as a rule, were not in- 

 clined to grow this .•irticle. on accnuut of the 

 fact that the prices of last year did not pa.v for 

 the labor it required. Moreover, some patches 

 have been plowed up. tienerally speaking, a 

 good crop can be expected, allhougb the pods 

 are atl>Tck<Hl by the worms here and there.
