MISCELLANEOUS VEGETABLES &e. AT WISLEY IN 1905. 



Alsike (Weenstein).— Five unnamed varieties of Trifolium hybridum, 

 none of which proved to be superior to varieties already in commerce. 



Barley, Bead's New (Bead, U.S.A.)— A good variety, with fairly large 

 heads and medium-sized corn, not equal to some of the best selected 

 English varieties. 



Bean, Scarlet Runner 'Excelsior' (Fletcher). — A prolific variety, but 

 rather short in the pod. 



Brassica chinensis, or Chinese Cabbage (Mark). — Heads immense, 

 closely resembling ' Drumhead ' and very solid. We doubt its being true 

 to name. 



Cabbage, 'Emperor' (Barr). — A strong-growing variety, with a 

 moderate spread of outer leaves ; hearts solid, roundish, very white, and 

 standing drought well. 



Cabbage, ' Barr's Giant ' (Barr).— Too large for garden purposes. 



Cauliflower, ' Early Selected' (Crook). — A good selection of 'Snow- 

 ball.' 



Cucumbers, 'White Spine' and 'Distinct' (Masters). — Both poor 

 varieties. 



Cucumber, 'Ideal' (Carter). — A medium-sized, handsome, and very 

 prolific variety, a light green colour, and very short neck. 



Leek, ' New Giant ' (Barr). — A large, solid, strong-growing variety. 



Melon, ' Early Burlington ' (Masters). — Fruit oval, ribbed, well netted ; 

 flesh scarlet, and of good flavour. This cropped splendidly in a cold 

 frame. 



Melon, ' Early Bristol ' (Masters). — Very similar to ' Early Bur- 

 lington,' but larger. 



Oats, ' Read's New ' (Read, U.S.A.). — A good variety, but not 

 specially so. 



Trefoil (Weenstein). — An unnamed variety, of no special merit.
