Owing to the severe drought that followed the transplanting and 
to the ravages of the cabbage-tly, many of the plants failed to survive. 
Of those that survived, however, a very fair proportion formed heads, 
as appears from the table. 
The LeNormand’s Extra Large was arte forming its first head 
in 149 days. The Lackawanna was second, forming a head in 150 
days. It appears from the table that some of the ‘varieties called 
“late” formed heads earlier than others called “ early.” In our_ 
test there was not much difference in the average size of the heads 
from the different varieties. None of the heads formed were of 
extra large size. ) 
Brocolt. 
We grew plants of ten so-called varieties of brocoli, but strange to 
say, only one, the Purple Cape, formed a head. Of ‘this, however, 
every plant headed. 
We also attempted to grow the Chinese cabbages Pak-choi, and 
Pe-Tsai. The seed vegetated well, but the plants. made very little 
erowth after being transplanted. They were much harassed by the 
flea- beetle, and quickly ran to seed.
