more especially of the vegetable and 

 farm seed departments, most wholesalers 

 report a genuine increase in business 

 done and on hand this season, and most 

 leading stocks will probably be cleaned 

 out by the finish of the season's trade, 

 which will be a welcome change, as of 

 late years it has been a frequent occur- 

 rence for considerable quantities to be 

 loft over. 



It is reported from reliable sources 

 that better trade than for many years 

 is being done by the leading retail 

 houses in the better class and choicest 

 strains of flower seeds. 



Some few days back there was held 

 at Northampton, England, a lecture on 

 sugar beet cultivation and methods of 

 successfully running a sugar beet fac- 

 tory. It is announced that a sugar beet 

 factory is to be started there. 



The British Isles generally, and the 

 eastern counties in particular, are still 

 suffering from heavy rains, and some 

 portions of the Lincolnshire and Cam- 

 bridgeshire seed-growing districts are 

 under water and some few crops are 

 totally washed out in consequence. Re- 

 ports are to hand of continual failures 

 in many of the field crops, and the crop 

 of 1906 will probably be very close to 

 a record one for failures and small yield 

 generally. In the long run, however, 

 this state of things will do no harm, 

 but rather the reverse, having the effect 

 of stiffening prices and putting things 

 on a sounder basis than they have been 

 for some years past.

English retail seedsmen are showing 

 the enterprise of our leading men in 

 other trades in their efforts to increase 

 business. It has been the custom hither- 

 to for seedsmen to confine their adver- 

 tisements to the various retail amateur 

 and professional gardening papers, but 

 this year quite a number are advertising 

 extensively in our leading London 

 dailies. B. J.
