PURITY FREESIAS 



A fine lot of Bulbs from a late dug, well ripened crop has Just been received from 

 our grower. Even If you have already planted some, remember Freeslas are a splendid 

 late winter crop, and now is the time to plant to bloom then. There is nothing more 

 useful or economical for design work, and they are easily grown, with little or no 

 trouble. Better play safe and let us send you at least a thousand.

HOLI.AND SEED CROP BEPOBT. 



"The steady advance of wages, ma- 

 nure and other articles prevents prices 

 of seeds from decreasing soon," say 

 Sluis & Groot, of Enkhuizen, Holland, 

 in resuming their crop report of pre- 

 war days. "In general, the plantings 

 of reliable articles are anything but 

 extensive and in consequence of the 

 restrictions during the previous years 

 the areas of several varieties will be 

 small if not failing entirely. There are 

 large quantities of seeds on the market 

 which have not been grown from re- 

 liable stock seeds and which in most 

 cases are mixed. In view of this we 

 can only advise customers to act with 

 the greatest precaution when making 

 purchases. 



"The restrictions of the government 

 have fortunately ceased for the greater 

 part and it may be taken for granted 

 that all export restrictions will soon be- 

 long to the past. 



"The weather last spring was un- 

 favorable, 80 that the development of 

 May biennials has been retarded. Only 

 the varieties of turnip and Swedes have 

 been lost for the greater part. Follow- 

 ing is a summary of some principal 

 varieties: 



Dwarf beans, pole beans. — Important plantings 

 of dwarf beans, especially of popular varieties. 

 The dwarf beans have been planted on a small 

 scale, some varieties being exceedingly small. 

 The stand of the latter is often far from favor- 

 able, some varieties being extremely poor and in 

 general so far quite late. All depends on the 

 weather which will prevail during September 

 and October. _ , ^ 



English beans. — Plantings fairly sufBclent. 

 Stand on the whole middling; many plantings 

 unfavorable, which promises a small crop. 



Beets. — All varieties In a small way. In 

 general a hardly average crop may be expected. 



Brussels sprouts, borecole. — Also a limited 

 acreage. Stand rather satisfactory. 



Cabbage, white, red cabbage, savoy. — Stood the 

 winter well. In autumn weather was unfavor- 

 able and owing to the doubtful situation growers 

 did not transplant all their plants, so that the 

 areas were considerably smaller than expected 

 at first. The plants starte«J to flower again here 

 and there so that only a middling crop may be 

 expected. 



Carrots. — About normal plantings of the better 

 early and half-early varieties, while of the late 

 Dutch varieties a sufBclent acreage has been 

 planted. Stand on the whole satisfactory, al- 

 though there are here and there some holes. 



Chervil. — Small area planted. Promise a suffi- 

 cient crop. „. . . _^, , 



Chicory. — Small acreage. This is an article 

 which requires much sunshine, with which we 

 have not been blessed during late weeks and 

 therefore the yield wlU not come ap to a sufficient 

 crop. 



Comsalad. — Small acreage. An average crop 

 may be expected.
