The Weekly Florists' Review*

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



Further reports of the bad keeping 

 qualities of mangels and beets, and the 

 injury from frost, are to hand. I hear 

 from one or two European growing dis- 

 tricts that the plants are not breaking 

 away as regularly as might be desired 

 and, owing no doubt to a touch of rot 

 in the bulbs, many patchy crops are pre- 

 dicted, especially in France, but still if 

 some ideal weather conditions would now 

 prevail and continue, the defect might 

 still be made good. 



All over Europe the weather has prob- 

 ably never been so unseasonable. West- 

 ern Europe has been deluged with rain 

 the last week and much damage to all 

 sorts of crops is resulting. With it all 

 the temperature is severely cold. Peas 

 growing both for seed purposes and 

 market have suffered the most, in some 

 cases entirely killed by frost, and in 

 consequence the pea crop all over Eu- 

 rope will be much reduced. This will 

 have the effect of making trade in this 

 line still worse next season. Growers 

 Avill not plant an article that is subject 

 to such damage by weather as the pea 

 crops have suffered the last few years. 



A lot of complaint is heard this year 

 of the tulip mold, Botrytis parasitica, 

 and it will considerably affect the num- 

 ber of first grade bulbs in Holland in 

 the coming crop. It is a very annoying 

 trouble, for the seedsmen who buy for 

 bedding and private retail trade. The 

 trouble cannot well be detected when 

 bulbs are received from Holland in the 

 autumn, but when they bloom it makes 

 itself known by spoiling the growth and 

 thereby causing the retail customer to 

 come back on the seedsman for having 

 sold bulbs of inferior quality. There 

 does not appear to be any remedy except 

 burning the affected bulbs.

Further reports of disaster caused by 

 Vesuvius to seed crops growing around 

 the fertile base of the mountain are to 

 hand. Many sowings of annuals, such as 

 asters, stocks, zinnias, etc., are ruined. 

 Fortunately, it occurred early enough 

 for a second sowing to be made and the 

 harm in that case will be that the har- 

 vesting will be slightly later and of 

 course lighter in consequence. B. J.
