Mention The Review wlien you write. 



\ iowed afterwards, we could all plainly 

 Mc that they were agreeably surprised 

 In find that the seedsmen are just as 

 .inxious to stop this pernicious practice 



IS they are themselves. The seedsmen 

 )iiade some suggestions that will no 



loubt aid the Department materially in 

 protecting the public against the two or 

 three unscrupulous dealers who have 

 brought the whole seed trade into dis- 

 rej)ute 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 seetls- 



tnan 's business more profitable than the 



tiower seed department, and there is 



nothing more profitable in that dcj)art- 



ment than sweet peas. It is, tiierefore, 



not surprising, stiys a seedsman writing 



iti tile Horticultural Advertiser, that 



' very seedsman worthy the name aims 



it being somewhat of a sweet pea sjie- 



' ialist. The real way to acijiiire an ac- 



luaintance with the many varieties now 



before the public is of course to grow 



'hem, but tliis is impossible in many in- 



tances, and we have men in the trade 



loing well in sweet peas, and who have 



' good reputation for them, who never 



;row a Hower. How, it iiuty be asked, 



io they acquire the requisite knowleilge.' 



'y observation and reading. Jt one 



■ ikes the Sweet Pea Annu.al as a guide, 



lid fixes on the varieties that come out 



II top of the audit and election, one may 



le assured they are not far removed 



' rom the best in their respective color 



lasses. The next thing of inijiortance 



■^ to find out where reliable stocks of 



he varieties in question can be obtained, 



ind this in the future, more than in the 



:'ast, is going to make up success. When 



very])ody is keen on sweet peas, the men 



^^hose stocks are truest are going to 



iiave the best of it, and rightly so.
