ed some crops, causing various kinds of 

 diseases that destroy quantities of the 

 plants of delicate nature, as numerous 

 varieties of asters and some sorts of 

 cucumber, etc. It also made in a very 

 extensive way the flowers wither away 

 without setting a seed, as with the pan- 

 «ies, etc., and rather seriously injured 



the development, maturity and vitality 

 of the tender kinds of seeds, facts that 

 should receive due consideration on the 

 part of the buyers of such seeds, when 

 they do not find the latter germinating 

 in the usual good manner. 



In spite of unfavorable results, prices 

 of peas have set in exceedingly low, far

below their cost of production, probably 

 due to the surplus stocks of previous 

 year's crop, and, moreover, there is 

 very little demand for this article aa 

 yet. 



Radish has not done so bad, and spin- 

 ach is an average crop. 



Flower seeds all are good and partly 

 pretty good, but of asters the yield of 

 the delicate varieties will be very small, 

 also dwarf and tall nasturtiums. 



IRONDEQUOIT. 



The accompanying illustration was 

 from a photograph of a wagon-load of 

 muskmelons grown by Van Aken Bros., 

 Coldwater, Mich. The variety is Iron- 

 dequoit, a sort not listed in a large 

 number of seed catalogues. It is nearly 

 round, being slightly flat at each end. 

 The outer skin is a beautiful yellow, 

 finely netted. The flesh is dark orange, 

 the flavor excellent. It is a particularly 

 good sort for home consumption. Van 

 Aken Bros, were especially pleased with 

 the results of their crops of this vari- 

 ety. It yielded heavily and the fruits 

 ranged in weight from five to twelve 

 pounds. They were sold in their home 

 town.
