EUROPEAN SEED CROPS. 



The Horticultural Trade Journal, Lon- 

 don, has prepared the following summary 

 of seed crops in Europe: 



Kales and Savoys.— Seeds of all the leading 

 varieties of kales will. It Is expected, be at 

 their usual prices. 



Thousand-headed Kale.— The acreage for 

 seed Is small and therefore prices are ex- 

 pected to rule considerably higher than usual. 

 Green Curled savoy is a short crop, but other 

 varieties will be of the usual prices. 



Radish.— Crops are found to vary consider- 

 ably In the principal producing districts in 

 aome parts of Germany, but in the Anjou dis- 

 trict the crops up to the present are disap- 

 pointing. English crops are badly in want of 

 rain. 



Carrot.— Crops said to be very short in Ger- 

 many, but there are very good yields in the 

 south of France; they are fair in the Anjou, 

 and have Improved as we get nearer Paris. 

 White Belgian carrot is likely to be higher 

 in price. 



Cress.- There is a very fair promise of a 

 crop, and there should be a good sample if 

 the present fine weather is not too greatly In- 

 terfered with by rain. 



Lettuce.— There is the promise of a plentiful 

 supply of seeds of all the leading varieties. 



Parsley.— Home crops promise a good yield, 

 but there is not likely to be so much as usual 

 sent in from the continent. 



French Beans.— It has been noted that the 

 crops about the country are blooming freely, 

 and there is a promise of a good yield. In 

 Germany, the acreage, usually so plentiful, 

 is a very small one. Dwarf varieties promise 

 very well and the yield should be such as to 

 bring the crop into the market at reasonable 

 prices. 



Turnips.— All varieties promise a plentiful 

 harvest, except in Germany. Tellow and 

 white fleshed turnips are very good In this 

 country and seeds are on the point of harvest- 

 ing in good condition. 



Swede Turnips. — These are very poor crops 

 generally, many crops are badly affected with 

 the canker, and the better sorts should be 

 higher In price. Bronze-top varieties also are 

 more scarce than usual, but of the commdn 

 kinds there Is still a considerable reeerve of 

 1903 crop. 



Mangels. — Mangels are already advancing 

 In prices, although at the moment crops 

 promise fairly well. Warehouses are empty
