At a general meeting of the Grenada Agiicultural and Commercial Society held on November 24, 1U05, Mr. R. I). Anstead, B.A., the Agricultural Superintendent, read a scheme for a Prize Holdings L'omi)etition, which it was agreed to start. Mr. Anstead was thanked for his suggestion.

Sutton, the famous seed merchants of Reading, England. This eccentric tuber came from Congo, and is said to have an excellent flavour. It is especiallj- recommended for ornamental cookery, and in salads.
