In the table we have noted the date at which the different rows 
formed the first fruit four inches in diameter, calling this stage at 
edible size. The distinction when applied to both summer and win- 
ter squashes, becomes arbitrary, but no more accurate method of 
measuring the comparative development of the different varieties 
has appeared to us.

The Yellow Elector’s Cap. (Fr. Patisson jaune,) Vil., ’85 was 
the same as the Early Yellow Bush Scallop. Sib., ’83. 
The Marblehead, Hen., ’85 and the New Marblehead, Thor. 85 
were the same, and the New Olive, Thor., ’85 was the same as the 
Olive, Vil., ’84 grown last year. 
The Geneva Bush squash (Fr. Courgeron de Geneve), Vil., 85 was 
a very thin fleshed variety that appeared to have little value in our 
climate. 
CABBAGE, 
Seeds of the following list of cabbages were planted in boxes in 
the greenhouse Mar. 30. As the plants became sufficiently large, 
sixteen of each, with a few exceptions, were transplanted to the gar- 
den, in rows three and a half feet apart, and eighteen inches apart 
in the row. The transplanting commenced with the earlier varieties 
Apr. 27, and ended May 18. 
The soil was prepared as described for the beet, and was kept free 
from weeds, and well cultivated during the season. 
The damage from the cabbage fly was quite serious, which necessi- 
tated resetting the plants several times.
