partially lifted, has not given any cause 

 for complaint, but as the main crop of 

 salable bulbs will not be out of the 

 ground until the middle of July, nothing 

 definite can yet be said. It is, however, 

 very likely that the crocus crop will be 

 a poor one and that quantities on hand 

 will be sold out early in the season. Nar- 

 cissi and irises are all looking well and 

 promise to give a fine crop, but it should 

 not be overlooked that, owing to the pre- 

 vailing low prices, the stocks of these are 

 not so large as they used to be, and 

 should there be anything u^e a fair de- 

 mand there will not be any surplus, as 

 was the case during the last two seasons. 

 The cleaning and curing of all these 

 millions of bulbs is now requiring the 

 help of many hundreds of hands, and if 

 the present dry and warm weather will 

 only continue, this process may be expect- 

 ed to be finished within two or three 

 weeks. — Horticultural Trade Journal. 



RUST-RESISTING CANTALOUPES. 



In a recent bulletin of the Colorado 

 Experiment Station P. H. Blinn reports 

 the discovery by a local grower of a 

 rust-resisting cantaloupe which promises 

 to be of immense value to the Eocky 

 Tord cantaloupe industry. In this case 

 seed of the Bocky Ford variety 

 was purchased from five different 

 seedsmen. They were planted and culti- 

 vated under similar conditions. When 

 rust attacked the field just before the 

 melons began to ripen, it developed rap- 

 idly and soon destroyed all the vines ex- 

 cept those grown from the seed of one 

 seedsman. Many of the hills from this 

 strain of Rocky Ford seed remained 

 green throughout the season and pro- 

 duced a good crop of melons. Further 

 observations in the muskmelon fields of 

 that neighborhood also showed that 

 wherever this strain of Rocky Ford seed 

 had been used many hills were unaffected 

 with rust, while witli otlx'r .strains of 

 seed of the same varictv the vines were 

 all dead. 



Mr. Blinn selected a quantity of seed 

 from the rust-resistant hills and planted 

 them in comparison with ordinary seed. 

 "On the rust-resisting hills the melons 

 were hidden under a healthy growth of 

 vines, and were large, solidly netted, 

 with thick, firm flesh, small seed cavity 

 completely filled with seed. On the 

 rusted hills the plants were almost de-
