 autumn season. 



P.— MISCELLANEOUS. 



I. — CARDOONS. 



3 Exhibitors. 

 Remarks. 



The exhibits were all of the common smooth variety, 

 well-grown. Cardoons are not much grown or appreciated in 

 this country. They require a great amount of attention in 

 regard to blanching. Although used in a very different manner, 

 Cardoons belong to the same family as the Artichoke. 



II.— LEAF BEETS. 



3 Exhibitors. 

 Types : — [a) Chilian or Brazilian, SeaJcale, Silver, 

 (b) Green, or Spinach.
