 Vour Aster, Miss Kate Lock, is the finest I ever 

 grew. The largest and most perfect flowered Aster 

 on my grounds this year and that is saying consider- 

 able, as I had seed from Italy, Germany, France, 

 England, California, Canada and the United States.

it not for the low prices they would re- 

 ceive scant attention. The prices for 

 mangel are higher and trade in this 

 article is likely to very considerably im- 

 prove in the near future, as stocks are 

 not so large as anticipated. 



Complaints are heard from many quar- 

 ters of failures of early sowings of 

 various seeds and a further order to the 

 seedsmen is required to fill up the gap. 



German seed houses report that stocks 

 of flower seeds and vegetable seeds have 

 cleared out well. Perennial grass seed is 

 active. Some firms have exhausted their 

 supplies of meadow foxtail and prices 

 of some varieties, such as tall oat grass 

 and cocksfoot show an upward tendency. 

 Clover seeds keep firm. Sufficient time 

 has not elapsed since the late blizzards 

 to judge to what extent these have af- 

 fected next season's seed crops through- 

 out Europe, but the outlook for biennials 

 is by no means encouraging, as many of 

 the stocks are killed outright and others 

 severely crippled. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued The Lawn, by L. C. Corbett, 

 which will be sent on request to any ad- 

 dress. It is designated as Farmer's Bul- 

 letin No. 248.
