Comet Tomato

 Comet" a trial. This variety has been the talk

narcissi, largelj^ grown in France and 

 also in Italy, lia^ not, I think by reports, 

 made an average sale and the same ap- 

 plies to freesias. In Italy, at least, some 

 big surpluses of these tvio lines are 

 found and not likely to be moved now. 

 Following upon the rapid rise in price 

 of Paper White narcissi consequent upon 

 the eruption of Vesuvius, a big drop now 

 haa occurred, both in these and in free- 

 sias. 



Some good orders are reported, both 

 in Holland and England, for herbaceous 

 peonies. Duchess de Nemours and Fes- 

 tiva maxima taking the first place as 

 the' leading,* most useful and popular 

 white varieties. Especially is this the 

 case with continental growers, who offer 

 these two sorts much cheaper than the' 

 few English growers. 



The firms engaged in exporting lily 

 of the valley from Germany have hardly 

 got into the business of booking orders 

 for autumn delivery. The trade in this 

 line hardly shapes itself for an accurate 

 estimate until samples are ready to be 

 submitted to customers, which will not 

 occur nntil October; but still according 

 to what orders are already taken, the 

 trade in pips bids fair to be a long way 

 above the average and an advance in 

 price already is occurring. The stock of 

 retarded pips is well cleaned up and 

 the quantity left in storage, both in 

 England and Germany, is hardly suffi- 

 cient to carry supplies on until the fresh 

 crowns come into use. This will tend 

 to make a much heavier demand for 

 fresh crowns than would otherwise be 

 the case. Fortunately the supply will 

 be larger, one firm recently writing me 

 that it will have double last year's sup-
