winter stocks and double wallflowers now 

 on the stages are looking strong, but in 

 the fields the single wallflowers might 

 look better. Forget-me-nots have also 

 not developed as they should and only 

 half a crop is expected. Of pansies a 

 large proportion of the summer-sown 

 plants have perished, and the spring 

 plantations will require exceptionally 

 favorable weather to make up for the 

 deficiency, as they are by no means such 

 certain seed bearers as the former. Holly- 

 hocks are not in very promising shape, 

 but campanulas, sweet williams and 

 primulaceous plants have on the other 

 hand come through well. 



Perennials in general have done better 

 and mostly look in good condition, 

 though a little backward. Annuals, both 

 from autumn and spring sowings, are 

 coming up nicely, and sweet peas have 

 made a satisfactory start. Planting-out 

 operations have been sadly delayed by 

 the weather, quite ten or twelve days, 

 asters being hardly yet in the ground, 

 as little can be done when our soil is in 

 a sodden condition. 



The persistent moiet and cloudy 

 weather is also somewhat iffecting the 

 foundation of the greenhouje pJnnts, such 

 as cinerarias. For calceolarias, coleuses 

 and large-flowering petunias, too, a re- 

 turn of drier and warmer weather is 

 quite a desideratum at the present mo- 

 ment. — Horticultural Trade Journal. 



EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



Business in Mark Lane, London, is now 

 chiefly on turnip and swedes. A few 

 late parcels of clovers and grasses are 

 on offer and prices are still high. Ware- 

 houses are cleaner of stock, both in Eng- 

 land and all over the continent, than they 

 have been for some years. Certainly no 

 surplus is reported and in some cases a 

 heavy shortage is spoken of. 



A journey through Lincolnshire and 

 Cambridgeshire, principal turnip and 

 swede growing counties in England, was 

 somewhat of a surprise; these crops 

 have improved wonderfully and are now 

 looking first-class. If the acreage were 

 not so exceptionally small the supply of 

 these articles would be above the aver- 

 age next harvest. In Essex the pea 

 crops also have improved marvelously. 

 The acreage of peas is smaller than 

 usual, though fields are running fine and 

 bid fair to yield a heavy crop, but of 

 peas more than anything else nothing can 

 be depended on until the seed is in the 

 sack. 



"Windsor and longpod beans all over 

 England are wretchedly short and weak 

 and probably a very short harvest will 

 result. 



Oprmany reports a much improved ap- 

 pearance in nearly all crops, although 



A BED OF MUSHROOMS
