NOTES FHOM ENGLAND. 



Japanese fern balls are an absolute 

 drug on the English market. The various 

 shapes, such as monkeys, flying storks, 

 ships, etc., are never now asked for in 

 the trade. 



The novelty of the moment appears 

 to be the earthenware figures in which 

 a particular kind of grass seed is sown 

 and after the figure is filled with water 

 seed sprouts, and a crop of green grass 

 appears. The clay figures are being ex- 

 tensively stocked, not only by seedsmen 

 and allied trades, but also by other 

 trades. 



The Ghent azalea trade this year is 

 very bad. It has been for many years 

 a standing feature with small provin- 

 cial nurserymen doing a weekly market 

 trade to buy in a quantity of named 

 azaleas each year from the Belgium 

 growers, the size that will pot up com- 

 fortably into a 5-inch pot being most 

 favored. Gradually prices have receded 

 until this year a heavy loss in 

 many cases will be made. Grand 

 plants were on offer in a lar^ 

 provincial center this week at 6^'tsSiCii, 

 which was not half the cost of the plants. 

 The general opinion of the smaller 

 growers now is that the time has come 

 when there is no profit, or very little, 

 to be made in England in any article but 

 what can be grown throughout in the 

 nursery. Prices for nearly all classes 

 of goods have so declined that they will 

 not now warrant more than a coke la- 

 borer and rent bill, and any article that 

 there is an additional big bill to pay for 

 stock plants is not profitable.

Quite a feature of the London market 

 this year ia the idea of ferns anu flowers 

 in one pot. This is accomplished by 

 using a 4i^-inch pot for an adiantum 

 and placing at the edge of the pot at 

 the time of potting the fern, four or six 

 bulbs of tulips, Roman or Dutch min- 

 iature hyacinths and also using in the 

 same way half a dozen or a dozen lily 

 of the valley crowns. A very pretty 

 effect is made when the bloom is seen 

 mixed and half buried in the foliage of 

 thejferds. A very ready sale for them 

 HaSoeen obtaineu at fairly remunerative 

 prices. 



The shortage of Japanese lily bulbs, 

 especially the forcing varieties, such as 

 longiflorums and lancifoliums, promises 

 to become acute. Although stocks are 

 practically exhausted, quite a number of 

 provincial growers have not yet got in 

 their supplies, with the result that in- 

 stead of prices getting lower, they have 

 rapidly gone higher. 



The begonia has entered the field of 

 competition in the business of booming
