REPORT ON TURNIPS AT CHISWICK, 1896. 



Seventy-nine stocks of Turnip-seed were received for trial, and 

 all were sown on April 22. With two exceptions, all the seeds 

 germinated freely, and the crops proved a success in spite of 

 the very dry season. They were examined by the Fruit and 

 Vegetable Committee on June 15, and again on June 29, to 

 inspect the later varieties. 



A further sowing of all the stocks was made on July 31, with 

 a view to test their merits for winter use. The germination was 

 again good, but owing to the very wet autumn most of the bulbs 

 split, and were useless for trial purposes.
