The Weekly Floriste^ Review*

half -sugar varieties for seeds again, so 

 tba^ Best autumn, vie may e^cpect a large 

 quantity of same. These are two excel- 

 lent varieties of niangels, becoming very 

 big and containing more sugar than any 

 others, so that the feeding property for 

 cattle is also far superior; consequently, 

 I believe I am not mistaken in saying 

 the favor of these varieties will continue. 

 Carrots have also been recently trans- 

 planted, but not in a good state; a lot 

 of plants had been under water for some 

 time. Cabbages, turnips and swedes have 

 been mostly affected by continuous rain, 

 which made the young plants very ten- 

 der . and therefore unable to stand the 

 frosty weather which came lately. A 

 large acreage had to be ploughed up, 

 and a small crop is expected; the conse- 

 .quence is a rise of price for the present, 

 and very likely high prices will be asked 

 for all varieties when we come nearer to 

 harvest time. 



Leeks do not look so bad; only in 

 some districts floods have destroyed all 

 plantations,' but I estimate the planta- 

 tions will be over half the usual ones. 

 If we recollect that leek seeds reached 

 a good price last season, and seeds were 

 pretty scarce^, we shall soon deduce that 

 they obghf to keep up a good price next 

 ■year. • ■;'''- 



^ Onions haV^e been put in largely, owing 

 to the big prices onion seeds reached 

 Ia8t't*Beason. However, bulbs had too 

 ^liiueA rain to ke^ well, so that a good 

 )art became entirely unsound for plant- 

 jj^the more so that planting was de- 

 l»y^4- OJV account of the continuous un- 

 g»Vt>rable \veather, 



* With regard to dnions, the check and 

 ■ftrll of ■pric©' of the seeds in the middle 

 of the season is worth mentioning. This 

 i^q. doubt is due tp the lot of seeds com- 

 ing from countries unknown, so to say, 

 for production up to present time. When 

 in London last autumn I had an oppor- 

 tunity of being offered a ' ato% of Ten- 

 eriffe onion seeds, which certainly looked 

 good. I also saw some t)ulbs of the 

 stocks offered. They looked very much 

 like white Spanish in form and color, 

 but had already shot up. It is true it 

 was in a small close room, but my im- 

 pression was that it would not keep so 

 well as the old white Spanish, which I 

 can still see here in good sound bulbs, 

 with no trace of sprouting at all. How- 

 ever, in such scarce years, people will 

 have to do with this, and other hot 

 countries' seeds, as I understand tons 

 of same have been sold this year, coming 

 from Teneriffe and California. 



This shows once more, that even in 

 scarce years, seeds cannot run any more 

 to such high prices as we used to see 

 in past times. Prices will be checked 

 by other centers of production, no mat- 

 ter if quality is sacrificed a bit. 



Badishes will not be grown on a large 

 scale in our district this year. Growers 

 are tired of the bad crops that they have 

 had some years running, and are asking 

 for better prices. The result is that very 

 little radish will be sown here for seeds.

E. Eichling made a few appropriate 

 remarks about the importance of mem- 

 bers exchanging ideas about the raising 

 of plants and, following that idea, he 

 gave his experience in growing a new 

 variety of sweet pea, an improvement 

 on Mont Blanc. The seed is offered by 

 W. Atlee Burpee & Co., who say that it 

 will flower in forty days. Mr. Eichling 

 said that under our climate they have 

 come to flower in thirty-five days, and 

 judging from the flowers he exhibited 

 we may say it is a good acquisition.
