viewed afterwards, we could all plainly 

 see that they were agreeably surprised 

 to find that the seedsmen are just as 

 anxious to stop this pernicious practice 

 as they are themselves. The seedsmen 

 made some suggestions that will no 

 doubt aid the Department materially in 

 protecting the public against the two or 

 three unscrupulous dealers who have 

 brought the whole seed trade into dis- 

 repute and brought suspicion on all of 

 us. A complete report will be made by 

 the committee on seed adulteration of 

 the American Seed Trade Association in 

 due time and it will make very interest- 

 ing reading. 



SWEET PEAS. 



There is no department of a seeds- 

 man's business more profitable than the 

 flower seed department, and there is 

 nothing more profitable in that depart- 

 ment than sweet peas. It is, therefore, 

 not surprising, says a seedsman writing 

 in the Horticultural Advertiser, that 

 every seedsman worthy the name aims 

 at being somewhat of a sweet pea spe- 

 cialist. The real way to acquire an ac- 

 quaintance with the many varieties now 

 before the public is of course to grow 

 them, but this is impossible in many in- 

 stances, and we have men in the trade 

 doing well in sweet peas, and who have 

 a good reputation for them, who never 

 grow a flower. How, it may be asked, 

 ^lo they acquire the requisite knowledge? 

 By observation and reading. If one 

 takes the Sweet Pea Annual as a guide, 

 and fixes on the varieties that come out 

 on top of the audit and election, one may 

 be assured they are not far removed 

 from the best in their respective color 

 classes. The next thing of importance 

 is to find out where reliable stocks of 

 the varieties in question can be obtained, 

 and this in the future, more than in the 

 past, is going to make up success. When 

 everybody is keen on sweet peas, the men 

 whose stocks are truest are going to 

 have the best of it, and rightly so.
