of the 70,000 stood the frightful shock 

 of bitter cold after genial warmth, and 

 lived — a remarkable showing. The re- 

 maining 20,000 were lost and have been 

 replaced with young stock, grafted. 

 "ue upper end, which was partitioned 

 off soon after the accident, looks bost. 

 ^ne plants grew strongly in the late 

 spring, producing a crop of flowers in 

 the iiid of June and early in July. Thf;ie 

 has been little replanting needed in 

 this section. The middle of the hou.^e 

 ^nd the lower part suffered more; tho 

 |on;r continued exposure, the wreckage, 

 "'e tramping, all told heavily against it.

A Seed Innovation. 



^. "^Vulter P. Stokes has, "for a long 

 in"*! ■ ^®®° contemplating an innovation 

 ^ '''8 seed catalogue, which he feels 

 '^^*' will be considered as an improve- 



ment bj' his customers when it becomes 

 known and is understood. This change 

 consists in cutting out all varieties of 

 doubtful merit, leaving only the best. 

 The pruning- will be done with a firm 

 hand. All that is of little use will be 

 cut away. No variety of vegetable 

 seed, for instance, is to remain on this 

 list merely because it is different. It 

 must be the best variety in a certain 

 section of this country, or the best of a 

 certain type, or nearly the best, to earn 

 its place on the list. This will mean 

 an enormous saving in time for com- 

 piler and reader of the catalogue, to 

 say nothing of the effects of the seeds 

 and of the plants. Persistently followed 

 out, it will yield results that will be far 

 reaching in their beneficial effects, for 

 which the seed world will owe Mr. 

 Stokes a debt of gratitude.
