as regards swedes and turnips, of which 

 there are still such large stocks in ware- 

 houses. On the contrary it will be to 

 the benefit of both dealer and farmer, 

 as it will lower the stocks and 

 cause a certain advance in prices this 

 year or next, and we all well know the 

 rise in price is much needed by the farm- 

 ers, who have now to grow these articles 

 at such a low price that there cannot 

 be any living for them under the cir- 

 eumstances. 



1 believe beets suffered mostly, and 

 it is a great pity to see such small plants 

 of beets in the fields, which have already 

 shot up. Certainly the crop will be 

 worse this year than it has been for a 

 long time, and consequently a good rise 

 in price is inevitable. Mangels are not 

 looking well, either, but there was such 

 a larger acreage planted that it would 

 not be easy now to say what they will 

 do later on. 



Cabbages came out the best of all, 

 as it looks, although a good many of 

 them perished through the winter, and 

 some others badly shot up to seed in 

 some districts; the crop will not be so 

 bad after all. 



Onions have kept very small; they did 

 not develop properly and a good many 

 lots suffered last March in earth on 

 accouiit of long standing wet weather, 

 and the stalks have become yellowish. 

 Owing to the extraordinary high prices 

 of last season, I think that, even if the 

 plants get on nicely and do not get 

 broken down by hail or storm, etc., the 

 fall in price of onion seeds will not be 

 BO great as it was first expected from 

 the large acreages planted. 



Parsnips and parsley do not look bad 

 for the present. 



Cabbage lettuces and cos lettuces have 

 just lately been transplanted under very 

 good weather conditions. 



Badishea are quite a failure with us. 

 Firstly the acreage planted was awfully 

 small, then the prices paid to the grow- 

 ers was much higher than usual, so that 

 no doubt Ave may reckon upon a big ad- 

 vance in prices. 



Mignonette, nasturtiums, etc., suf- 

 fered terribly from hot weather, and a 

 good many lots could not even be sown 

 owing to drought. Sweet peas, which 

 have to be sown already in March, on 

 the contrary had to stand a fearfully 

 wet period, which hurt them terribly, so 

 only a very poor crop is to be expected 

 this year. — Horticultural Advertiser.
