SEED PROSPECTS IN HOLLAND. 



The heavy storms and persistent 

 rains in the autumn of 1912 were ex- 

 tremely unfavorable for the seed crops 

 in Holland, according to the report of 

 Sluis & Groot, of Enkhuizen. As a 

 result the sowing could not be done in 

 time, and in some cases the area al- 

 ready sown was spoiled by rain. Im-

 celery, parsley and winter radish. Fair 

 crops are expected of cabbage, parsley 

 and peas, and the general outlook is 

 good for Brussel's sprouts, cauliflower, 

 radish, spinach and parsnip, although
