The southern and southwestern trade 

 are eager for part shipments of their 

 contract orders, and the jobbers are do- 

 ing their best to make the shipments as 

 complete as possible.

When harvesting Dobbie 's Golden Ball 

 turnip seed this summer at Orpington, 

 writes Wm. Cuthbertson, in the Garden- 

 ers' Chronicle, I was struck with the ap- 

 pearance of a remarkably fine plant. 

 I had it saved by itself and thrashed out. 

 the weight of seed was 8*4 ounces. I 

 counted the seeds in l-16th of an ounce, 

 and found they numbered 1,120, which 

 works out 147,840 for the 8% ounces. 

 Thus a single seed sown in July, 1902, 

 has reproduced itself 147,840 times in 

 a twelvemonth. 



Many of the jobbers are sceptical as 

 to the scarcity of sweet corn. They 

 argue that plenty of the seed will de- 

 velop later on. The only fear entertained 

 is that the germination may be poor, 

 on account of the soft condition of the 

 ears as they are taken from the shocks. 

 A great proportion of the chits, when 

 they are picked out of the cob and ex- 

 amined, show a blackness which is not 

 liked by those who are posted. How 

 much this will affect the sprouting of 

 the grains is a question, and it will have 

 an important bearing upon the quantity 

 of sweet corn available for seed.
