Nearly all the forcers of Easter lilies 

 will try a few Lilium Philippense. The 

 importations from the Philippines are 

 due to arrive February 15 to April 15, 

 the crop being harvested there in De- 

 cember and January. Stocks of the 

 variety are being grown in various parts 

 of the world, so that the Philippines 

 doubtless will soon be producing only 

 a small part of the supply if the lily 

 proves to be up to expectations.

GERMAN SEED CROPS. 



Although reports have been coming in 

 from aU sides about great heat and 

 drought, we have had at Erfurt moist and 

 cool weather all the time, so that the 

 ground lost earlier in the season has not 

 been made up. 



Peas, especially wrinkled ones, will 

 want a good deal of picking, and some 

 disease has appeared among the lettuces.
