from insects, so that a considerable acre- 

 age was lost; what was left is fairly 

 good. - Of winter radish not much was 

 planted; stand promising. Onion, small 

 plantations; stand good. Garlic, good. 

 Celeriac and parsley, middling stand. 

 Borage looks good but rather late. Cher- 

 vil, average crop, but considerable acre- 

 age was lost. Curled chervil almost total 

 failure. Spinach promises an average 

 crop. Cucumbers, pretty good. Peas, 

 generally very good. Dwarf and run- 

 ning beans promise a middling crop, al- 

 though rather late, owing to very cold 

 weather in the spring. English beans 

 are an excellent crop. 



' ' Prospects of the growing crops of 

 flower seeds are not so favorable as last 

 year, being somewhat baclcward, owing 

 to the cold weather we had in May. We 

 expect, however, that if the weather con- 

 tinues favorable, the crop as a whole will 

 be still an average one. 



"Antirrhinum is excellent. Calliopsis 

 looks good ; small plantation. Campa- 

 nula, owing to the dry weather of last 

 autumn, most plants remained too small 

 and consequently did not run to seed; 

 very small crop in several sorts. Candy- 

 tuft, middling crop. Centaurea, very 

 good standing; not much sown. Con- 

 volvulus, stand very good. Dianthus, 

 looks very promising. Eschscholtzia, 

 very good. Gypsophila, good. Heli- 

 chrysum, looks promising until now. 

 Lobelia, stand fair. 



"Mignonette is an average crop, 

 rather thin. Mimulus, excellent crop. 

 Myosotis, fairly good. Nasturtium, 

 fairly good. Nemophila, good. Pansies, 

 average crop ; small plantations. Papaver, 

 good crop. Petunia, fairly good; rather

 pretty good. Sweet peas, little sown ; 

 look good. Ten-weeks' stocks, rather

STIMULANTS FOR SEEDS. 



The possibility of stimulating the ger- 

 mination, especially of old seeds, and 

 promoting the growth of plants by treat- 

 ing the seeds before planting with va- 

 rious substances, has been the subject of 

 a number of studies both abroad and in 

 this country, which have yielded results 

 that promise to be of practiral value. It 

 has been repeatedly ()bser\ed that cer- 

 tain of the treatments used in preven- 

 tion of smut (for example, hot water 

 and copper sulphate) apparently stimu- 

 late germination and growth and result 

 in a greater increase in yield than can 

 be accounted for simply by the influence 

 of the treatment in preventing disease. 

 G. E. Stone and associates, of the Massa- 

 chusetts Experiment Station, have shown 

 that such results may be obtained by 

 means of treatment with a variety of 

 chemical solutions as well as by electrical 

 stimulation of the seed. Of the experi- 

 ments conducted in this country those 

 made by F. A. Waugh, of the Vermont

Experiment Station, and later repeated 

 at the Massachusetts Experiment Station, 

 have given results which promise to be 

 of most practical value. Professor 

 Wnngh 's ex])eriments, which were begun 

 ■IS lorg ago as 1S9G, were based upon tho 

 astfuniption that the transformation of 

 the starch in the see<l is an essentia) 

 process in germination, and that the so- 

 called enzyms, such as diastase, whicii 

 arc especially active in bringing about 

 such transformation, would probably aid
