Rocca and Pompeii possess considerable merit, but both are so badly mixed with other varieties as to make them quite unsatisfactory. White \'ictoria and Prizetaker are the best of all the varieties, for the general crop, thus far tested. Both attain a large size, frequently weighing more than a pound each. They have, at the station, in several instances yielded at the rate of fifteen hundred bushels per acre, and two thousand bushels per acre is quite within the bounds of possibility.—Bulletin Ohio Expv. BEST FERTILIZER FOR CABBACxE HILLS. I THER ashes or bone, separately, or phosphate, such as are to be found in the market, make excellent starters for cab- bage, when well fixed in the hills. I have sometimes put these in the hills before planting. At other times, when I had reason to fear that they would not be sufficiently well mixed with the soil to prevent killing the young plants, I have had them scattered around the plants just before hoeing them, taking care to cover the fertilizer with the earth drawn around the plants. During the past season I have tried a new method, which has afforded me great satisfaction.
