ANYONE CAN GROW 



The Improved Coiiotess of Lonsdale Dahlia 



This is by far the most handsome and useful Dahlia of the Cactus type introduced to date. The flowers 

 are large and the color is intense crimson scarlet, lighting up beautifully at night. The flowers, very 

 large, are borne on tall, stiff, erect stems and their profusion is extraordinary. Among the many Dahlia 

 Blooms shipped into the New York Wholesale Market none are more popular wi& the Retail Florist 

 than the IMPROVED COUNTESS OF LONSDALE. Strong divided field-grown roots. Price— 

 6 lor 91.00; «1.76 per dos.; $18.00 per 100.

smaller acreage than usual is standing. 

 Italy is the principal district from which 

 this article is procured for the English 

 and German trade and also very largely 

 for the American trade? A genuine 

 shortage in the Italian seed ^stricts 

 would be a serious matter for the seed 

 trade and not easily made up by any 

 heavy crop from other districts in whicli 

 cauliflower seed is grown, either in Eu- 

 rope or America. In conversation with 

 one of the leading Italian seed growers 

 in London the other day I gathered that 

 in the near future some considerable 

 advance in this line could very reason- 

 ably be expected. 



The conversation with the same grow- 

 er in reference to onion seed was also 

 in a similar strain and a considerable 

 advance in the European markets is al- 

 ready taking place. Italy is one of the 

 principal countries from which supplies 

 for England and the European trade are 

 obtained, and the acreage for the com- 

 ing season will be much less than usual 

 in that country and very probably in 

 other producing centers also. 



The home-grown onion for domestic 

 consumption has stood at very low prices 

 in England, and in view of the ever in- 

 creasing supply and cheapness of the 

 Kgyptian article (generally termed by 

 the consumer "Spanish") there is no 

 apparent chance of the English grown 

 bulb reaching a profitable price unless 

 .something out of the ordinary happens 

 to the foreign supply. Therefore the 

 trade in onion seed in England is likely 

 to be a decreasing one year by year, and 

 it will require a big reduction in the 

 production of seed so far as England is 

 concerned to cause the price of seed to 

 rise or even keep up its average level. 



The growing of Brussels sprouts for 

 the vegetable market has this season 

 Vjeen very unprofitable and many acres 

 have not been worth marketing, in conse- 

 quence of which many extra acres are 

 standing for seed purposes. I have trav-
