Chicago Seed Notes. 



The Holland-grown gladioli are not 

 regarded here with much favor. The 

 bulbs are large but are not firm and 

 often are of a spongy texture. The 

 supply of Lilium formosum is de- 

 cidedly short, the increased demand 

 for them for cut flowers becoming 

 greater each season. 



Chicago seed houses are having a 

 good winter business in their whole- 

 sale trade. They have done a very 

 satisfactory shipping business in 

 caladiums. cannas, tuberoses and 

 bulbous stocit generally and in flower 

 seeds, particularly asters, A general 

 scarcity of European flower seeds is 

 noted, especially Centaurea candidis- 

 sima. Some of the California sweet 

 peas are also scarce. Catalogues are 

 now out and a very optimistic outlook 

 is maintained for a lively business as 

 soon as spring opens. The cold 

 weather and the snow are regarded as 

 favorable rather than otherwise to a 

 good season. Among vegetable seeds 

 some varieties of peas are not up to 

 normal in quantity, noticeably the 

 wrinkled sorts. 



Notes. 

 New Haven, Ct. — Mrs. Piatt, wife of 

 Frank S, Piatt, the well-known seeds- 

 man, died at her home, 1149 Chapel 

 street, on Feb. 16th.
