It is a general report that gladioli 

 have been in stronger demand than usual 

 this spring. The same report comes 

 from Holland. 



Seed jobbers generally report the 

 shelves emptier than they have been at 

 this time of the year for many sea- 

 sons. The smaller dealers throughout 

 the country, it is reported, are still pass- 

 ing in their orders for supplies. In a 

 general way it seems as though 1905 

 should be a satisfactory year for all 

 concerned.

CABBAGE SEEDS. 



Those who grow cabbages for seeds 

 find it very necessary to exercise the 

 greatest care to keep the types distinct, 

 so that the crops may be uniform in 

 character. If selections of seed parents 

 are not made with the greatest care 

 every year, the types lose their individ- 



uality, and degenerate; they come leafy 

 and devoid of close, firm hearts. Cab- 

 bage .seeds having to be grown in very 

 large quantities, if the seed plants are 

 not very carefully selected, there would 

 naturally result deterioration and a mix- 

 ture of characters; then there would be 

 different forms, not so- much as a result 

 of insect fertilization as a result of nat- 

 ural deterioration. It is therefore very im- 

 portant that a growing crop for seed be
