At the Ohio Horticultural Society Meeting, Urbana, a discussion was held on the best new vegetables worthy of trial.

Mr. Elliott commended the Yorkshire Hero pea ; and of sweet corn he said Brill's was the earliest, next Crosby's; of seven varieties tested, he gave the preference to Brill's. ;

Mr. Ritz, of Plainville, said the White German Dwarf Wax Bean was a decided acquisition. He had brought from Europe seeds of a new red sugar beet which he would distribute gratuitously to members of the society. He regarded Crosby's early sweet corn as the best early of good size.

Mr. Campbell thought the Black Dwarf Wax Bean, the best he had tested; the white might be preferable on account of color.

Col. Richmond spoke of the Brazilian sweet potatoe as an excellent variety ; also, the Southern Queen - five specimens exhibited.

Mr. Elliott called attention to the Student Parsnip as the best in flavor; the Hollow Crown next. Several other members commended the Student variety; it does not grow quite as deep or long as the common. He inquired about the Egyptian dark red beet.

Mr. Bateham said he received seeds of this and several other new beets from the Agricultural Department at Washington, the past spring, but from last year's trial he would not plant one of them again; he prefers the Bassano to all others for summer use, and the Long Blood for winter.

Mr. Ritz spoke of the value of sugar beets as winter food for milk cows, making the butter as fine in color as that of summer.

Mr. Elliott commended the Early Horn Carrot as deserving more general cultivation.
