EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



' The radish croj)s arc having a bad 

 time, both with adverse weather and in- 

 sect troubles, and the yield promises to 

 be much below the average. I have had 

 no j)ersonal observation of these 

 troubles, excepting some few crops in 

 Italy, from which the reports were gen- 

 erally very favorable and a full crop 

 was expected. Init I should imagine the 

 bad weather lately experienced both in 

 the Krcncli and German growing dis- 

 tricts would cause the crops to suffer 

 very heavily. It is at these times when 

 crops are in a weak and patchy state, 

 and the jdants are least able to with- 

 stand the onslaught, that insects make 

 their presence most heavily felt. Prob- 

 ably the radish crops all over Europe 

 will be considerably below average, for 

 although Italy reported a very favor- 

 able croji for nearly all seed lines, 

 radish included, as ajiparently that coun- 

 try has not suffered at all as other coun- 

 tries have through bad weather, the 

 eruption of Vesuvius has quite checked 

 any hopes there may have been of extra 

 good crops. Since the calamity Italy is 

 worse off than other districts. In further 

 news r have from Naples the volcanic 

 rain of ashes, etc., has not only destroyed 

 existing vegetation, hut the thick layer 

 of ashes and lava whicli is covering the 

 whole countryside will render the land 

 unfertile for some time ami some grow- 

 ers say where it is very thickly covered 

 it will require two or three years be- 

 fore tlie soil can be successfullv culti- 

 vated B. J.
