The Rickards Brothers. 



(Proprietors Brldgeman Seed Co., New York.) 



Dobbie & Co., of Rothesay, Scotland, 

 took premier position among the profes- 

 sionals and trade growers. After such 

 a show as this, showing, as it does, so 

 much interest taken in this flower by the 

 public, we may expect much increased 

 trade for sweet pea seeds next season.

THE BRIE)GEMAN SEED CO. 



The Bridgeman Seed Co., 17 West 

 Nineteenth street, New York, yesterday 

 passed into the hands of A. J. Rickards 

 and W. C. Rickards, Jr., who will con- 

 tinue the business without change of 

 name. The firm was founded many years 

 ago by Alfred Bridgeman and for a 

 long term has been under the manage- 

 ment of E. A. Peth and F. M. Duggan. 

 W. C. Rickards, Jr., has been in the 

 employ of J. M. Thorburn & Co. for the 

 last twenty years; and his brother was 

 three years with the same firm, and 

 seven years with Stumpp & Walter Co. 

 They are widely known to the retail and 

 private gardening trade in the east, are 

 popular and have every prospect of mak- 

 ing a fine success in business for theii 

 own account.

HOLLAND SEED CROPS. 



Sluis & Groot have issued their annual 

 report on the seed crops of Holland, as 

 follows: 



"Last autumn, particularly the latter 

 part of the summer, when various bien- 

 nials were sown or planted, the weather 

 was continually \9rj dry; consequently 

 many plants have poorly developed. This 

 applies specially to cabbages, swedes, 

 beets and mangelwurzels, so that in gen- 

 eral the plantations are considerably 

 smaller flian last year. The mild win- 

 ter was favorable to the crops and only 

 a few plants were killed, so that not 

 many sorts will fail altogether. Gener- 

 ally speaking, crops, owing to exception- 

 ally cold weather in the spring, are some- 

 what backward. 



"Cauliflower stands fairly good. 

 White, red and Savoy cabbage, Brussels 

 sprouts and borecole are very small 

 plantations and the general standing is a 

 middling one, a part even considerably 

 under middling. 



"Turnip is excej)tionally small acre- 

 age; stand fairly good. Swedes, a very 

 small plantation, with poor prospects of 

 crop. Kohlrabi, little sown; stands 

 fair. Mangehvurzcl, .sugar beet and 

 beet are fairly good. 



' ' Carrot, as a whole, promises a fair 

 crop; stand rather thin. Parsnip and 

 scorzonora are very good ; not much 

 planted. Corn salad is excellent crop.
