ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



Apbil 18, 190S. 



carefully inspected on two or three oc- 

 casions, and all inferior cabbages taken 

 out, even if it should lead to the de- 

 struction of one-half of the crop in order 

 to secure a uniform type of the best 

 character. It is found in practice that 

 the roughest cabbages produce the great- 

 est amount of seeds, which is an addi- 

 tional reason for eliminating them from 

 the crop. According to Richard Dean, 

 in the Horticultural Trade Journal, the 

 produce of cabbage seeds may range 

 from five hundredweights to ten hundred- 

 weights per acre according to the sea- 

 son. 



ITALIAN SEEDS. 



An Italian correspondent of the Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle sends the following 

 from Naples: 



since the middle of November there has been 

 a succession of hard frosts almost without Ic- 

 termlsBion, and owing to their unusual severity 

 during the past months they have caused great 

 damage even to the less delicate plants. 



Cauliflower. — The breadths put out for seed- 

 supply have specially suffered, and It Is an- 

 ticipated that not more than a fourth of the 

 plants win yield seed. 



Onion. — English seedsmen are so much de- 

 pendent upon Italian growers for the Tripoli 

 and Improved Silver-slilnned types, that they 

 will regret to learn that the crop will be short 

 all around. 



Garden Beans. — Here again will be a great 

 shortage of crop, and no hope of Improvement. 



Flower Seeds. — The autumn sowing of these 

 has Buffered severely, and any quotations of 

 prices which may be made are for prompt or- 

 ders, but without any guarantee as to the 

 quantities to be supplied.
