seeded, early-flowering Spencers yet 

 introduced. The flowers are of great 

 size and substance, beautifully waved, 

 and are borne in great profusion. The 

 stems are long, usually carrying 

 three or four flowers which are well 

 placed. Snowstorm is an appropriate 

 name, as the plants become a perfect 

 mass of snow-white flowers, coming to 

 bloom very early and continuing 

 through a long season. 



SEED TRADE NOTES. 



The Philadelphia seed houses report 

 that the volume of business so tar 

 this season compares very favorably 

 with last year. All those seen report 

 an increase notwithstanding the se- 

 vere weather. On Feb. 21 Mr. Burpee 

 reported that his house was running 

 30 to 40 per cent, ahead of the same 

 days of 1917.
