must make up the balance. People will buy flowers at Easter; 



they'll have the money. Dutch stock requires very little heat 



or greenhouse space until shortly before selling time, so don't 



let the price of coal worry you.

SEED SEASON ON THE COAST. 



"I am sorry to say that the year lias 

 not been a good one for seed crops," 

 F. G. Cuthbertson, of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 recently wrote to a friend. "We had a 

 cold spring, during which we lost our 

 first plants of radish, owing to the frost, 

 and our later planting was not blessed 

 with any spring showers, so that the 

 growth was considerably below normal. 

 Then, along in June, we had some of the 

 hottest weather I have experienced since 

 coming out here. This promptly stopped 

 all growth of radish, so that prospects 

 for a decent crop were stopped. In ad- 

 dition to hurting the radish crop, the 

 hot weather burned the onion heads 

 when in flower, so that what looked like 

 a good crop was cut at least in halves 

 and in some cases seventy per cent of 

 the heads were burned. 



"The carrot crop suffered also from 

 the cold spring. We were late in get- 

 ting our roots in the ground and then 

 the lack of showers prevented the usual 

 growth. 



"Our sweet pea crops, which in these 

 days are not so important, have again 

 been ruined by the attacks of the aphis. 

 Altogether it is not a cheering state of 

 affairs, and to brighten up a bit we go 

 and look at our lettuce crop once in a 

 while, which promises well. 



"Conditions for raising seed in Cali- 

 fornia are now bad, owing to the great

 I suppose it is the same in every other 

 country; everybody wants to put his 

 land in what they call food crops, not 

 realizing that vegetable seed is really as 

 important as a number of so-called food 

 crops, and of course the price paid for
