EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



The sweet pea stocks are considerably 

 cleaned up. The National Sweet Pea 

 Society has done much to foster the 

 growing of sweet peas, and the show on 

 July 5 may be expected to be the largest 

 and finest of its kind yet seen. 



For a long time leading English seeds- 

 men have endeavored to obtain, chiefly 

 by selection, a strain of blue lobelia 

 which from seed will come up to the re- 

 quired compact habit such as is seen in 

 plants raised from cuttings taken from 

 selected plants. Previously those ob-

tained from seed were very straggly in 

 growth and uneven in bloom, with 

 scarcely any semblance to the bushy lit- 

 tle blue tufts obtained from cuttings, 

 but I think the special strains of one or 

 two of our leading houses may now be 

 freely used in preference to cuttings, as 

 they appear to have reached the per- 

 fection of form required in a bedding 

 lobelia. I saw a batch of 150,000 seed- 

 lings and fully ninety-live per cent were 

 perfect in form. 



The reported shortage of Victoria 

 aster seed does not seem to have caused 

 inconvenience. Many seedsmen bought 

 small quantities because of high prices, 

 but have had no difficulty in persuading 

 customers to take other varieties to fill 

 the shortage. B. J.
