Many experiments have been conducted with a large numberof varieties of vegetables, among others the determining of therelative values of varieties from the standpoiats of earliaess,yield and quality. Potatoes, peas and tomatoes have receivedmore attention, perhaps, than others. Many cultural experi-ments with potatoes have been tried, including kinds of sets toplant, depth of planting and change of seed. Trial shipmentsof tomatoes have been made to Great Britain. An especial feature of the work at present is the develop-ment of early and, it is hoped, better, strains of vegetables,iacluding peas, com, beans, melons and tomatoes. 32 DOMINION EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. dominion experimental farms 33 farmers list of best vegetables.
