novelty list from year to year, no ex- 

 planation is necessary, but for the in- 

 formation of those readers who are not 

 familiar with our operations, we wish 

 to state that the famous Busch Gardens 

 are one of the show places of southern 

 .California and for several years Mr. 

 Fraser has exhibited our novelties and 

 select strains of flowers in the sunken 

 garden, much to the pleasure of the 

 many visitors who pass through annual- 

 ly. We liave no objection to the adver- 

 tisement given our novelties in the 

 Busch Gardens or the commercializing 

 of them, but wo do wish to impress upon 

 the minds of any of your readers who 

 may be doubtful on the subject that we 

 are the hybridizers and introducers of 

 the American Beauty aster and the 

 'new race' of dahlia-flowered and pico- 

 tec zinnias and that our novelties and 

 special florists' stocks can be purchased 

 from aiiv reliable seed house." 



AUALFA IN KANSAS. 



Tlie present situation as regards 

 alfalfa in Kansas is, according to the 

 Bartcldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan., 

 well described in the following report 

 of J. C. Mohler, secretary or the Kan- 

 sas State Board of Agriculture, Topeka, 

 Kan., dated April 22: 



"The present season has thus far 

 been one of the least favorable for this 

 legume. Having suffered severely 

 everywhere from freezes, in many cdm- 

 munities it is now attacked by myriads 

 of so-called 'green bugs,' which are 

 doing much damage. Entomologists 

 assert this insect is probably not the 

 true greenbug. but rather the pea 

 aphis, but whatever the name, it is 

 inflicting sucli injury as to justify con- 

 cern. The work of these pests, together 

 with the extensive damage by freezes, 

 has unquestionably caused the loss of 

 at least the usual first cutting, which 

 ordinarily would amount to one and a 

 quarter million tons, and the debili- 

 tating effect upon the plant is further 

 shown by the reported general average 

 condition for the state's growing 

 .alfalfa of 6.").,33, as compared to 89.1 

 of a year ago. Moreover, probably an 

 average of fifty per cent of the spring- 

 sown alfalfa was killed by the low 

 temperatures." 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Considerable excitement was created 

 and a serious fire narrowly averted re- 

 cently wlien the store of the Empire 

 Seed Co., Schenectady, N. Y., had a 

 blaze, fortunately extinguished before
