Sweet peas, under favt)i-able (dudi- 

 tions, have produced as high as :i tou 

 and a halt of seed to the acre. 



Ft has been computed that the Santa 

 Clara Valley, California, produces a 

 little more than 2,000,000 pounds of 

 seed per annum, the sale of which 

 nrings in upwai-ds of $1,500,000 yearly. 



A writer in The Garden states that 

 all seeds that rats; mice or birds es- 

 teem can be effectually protected by 

 coating them with red lead. Afte- 

 dampeniug the seed the red lead is 

 stirred among them until each kernel 

 is coated and separate. 



The twenty-fifth annual convention 

 of the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion is to be held in New York, June 

 25-27, at the Hotel Astor. The hotel 

 is centrally located, only a short dis- 

 tance from the Grand Central Station, 

 convenient to the subway and all sur- 

 face lines, and is a most suitable place 

 for the holding of the convention.
