SAVOYS AT WISLEY, 1916. 
Forty-seven stocks of Savoys were sent for trial in 1916. Two 
sowings of each were made, the first on April 26, the second on May 26. 
They were transplanted on land which had grown peas the previous 
year, followed by mustard which was dug in. The first sowings were 
transplanted on June 14, the second on June 30. The smaller types, 
Nos. 1 to 15, were planted 2 feet apart each way, the larger 2 feet 
apart in rows 2 feet 6 inches apart. They were inspected on 
November 9 and the following varieties were selected as the best in 
the trial.
