Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vegetables
After it was placed in our charge it was plowed, -.limed heavily, manured, and again plowed, harrowed, and gone Over with the garden rake, to put it in order. Although a great amount of labor was Spent on the land, it is needless to say that it did not take the place Of a fertile garden, and all who read this bulletin must, therefore, take this fact into account. Not only was the soil new for gardening purposes, but we also had an extremely dry season.. We know that our yield is below the average in quantity, but it is sufficient to establish the comparative merits or demerits of the various varieties of vegetables, which was our main Object.
The following data were mainly taken under personal direction by Messrs. J. M. Johnson and 'a. J. Ireland, two promising young men in the Horticultural Department Of our University.
