BRITISH HORTICULTURE. 

 Big Prices for Vegetables. 

 With ii view to avoid any pouslble 

 fiKKl shortage. owinK to the war, every 

 KncouniKcnunl Is being afforded to 

 gardeners to Increust* their vegetable 

 i-roiKs (Ills y.xnr. The Council of the 

 Royal llortlriilturnl Soiiety has done 

 Its bivst to educate the British public 

 on iJie subject, and to give the beat 

 possible advice. Now the "Dally Mall," 

 which a few years ago created a sen- 

 sation by offering record pri/»>8 for 

 sweet |)eas, has come forward with a 

 unique offer to vegetable growers. 

 This enterprising newspaper Is devot- 

 ing tl.iuiil as prizes at a gre^it exhibi- 

 tion of vegetiibles which will be com- 

 peted for in a show to be held at the 

 end of the summer. The Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society is supporting the 

 project. The Society's experts will be 

 responsible for the sUiging and judg- 

 ing of tlie exhibits. It is a matter for 

 regret that both the National Potato 

 Society and the National Vegetable 

 Society, which could materially aid 

 this branch, have oonie to a premature 

 end.

Jottings. 

 Great sympathy has been expressed 

 for Mr. J. S. Brunton. the editor of 

 the Horticultural Trades .Tournal, and 

 an active worker in the Perpetual 

 Flowering Carnation Society, in the 

 sad loss he has lately exi)erienced by 

 the death of his son, Pte. J. W. Brun- 

 ton, who succumbed to an attack of 

 spinal meningitis after a week's ill- 

 ness. The deceased, prior to respond- 

 ing to the country's call, was a mem- 

 ber of the staff of Dobbie & Co., seeds- 

 men, Edinburgh, and was highly re- 

 spected by all with whom he was 



brought in contact The Narcissus 



Committee of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society has issued through its secre- 

 tary, C. H. Curtis, a suj)plementary 

 list of daffodils registered since the 

 previous list was published last year. 

 This list includes 3.52 registered since 



tlie beginning of last year British 



horticulturists have learned with the 

 deepest regret of the sad plight which 

 has befallen the Belgian florists and 

 seedsmen, as one of the effects of the 

 terrible war. According to the "Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle." horticulture is in 

 many places in Belgium disorganized 

 and ruined. Attempts on the part of 

 Belgian growers to "C4irry on" are dif- 

 ficult or impossible. The cost of trans- 

 port over the Belgian railways has 

 been rendered prohibitive. Many 

 growers are ruined, and almost all are 

 in financial difficulties. 



W. H. Adsett. 



Enclosed is post office order to pay 

 for HORTICULTURE two years more. 

 I like HORTICULTURE very much 

 and hope to read it many more years.
