a sign now appears on the front of the 

 building, "C. C. Morse & Co., Suc- 

 cessors to Cox Seed Co." 



They will carry on all of the depart- 

 ments formerly operated by the Cox 

 Seed Co. and E. J. Bowen, but their 

 growing department will be operated as 

 an entirely distinct business, with T. 

 M. Landrum and Lester L. Morse ac- 

 tively in charge.

TUBERGEN'S FREESIAS. 



A very pretty hybrid f reesia was given 

 an award of merit by the Eoyal Horti- 

 cultural Society of England on March 

 6 last year, under the name of Freesia 

 Tubergeni, having been raised by C. 

 Van Tubergen, Haarlem, Holland, from 

 the intercrossing of F. Armstrongi with 

 F. refracta alba. The flowers are lilac- 

 rose, with a lighter throat, and pleas- 

 antly scented, though scarcely to the 

 same extent as those of its last-named 

 parent. It appears to be of good con- 

 stitution, and promises, to be a valuable 

 addition for greenhouse work. April 16 

 of this year an award of merit was 

 given to Freesia Tubergeni Amethyst, 

 with larger and rather paler flowers than 

 those of F. Tubergeni, it being a seed- 

 ling from this last pollinated by F. re- 

 fracta alba. It promises to be a really 

 good garden plant. 



BOLGIANO TALKS. 



J. Bolgiano, of J. Bolgiano & Son, 

 Baltimore, recently was called upon to 

 make an address before a school, and 

 chose to tell the pupils how to make 

 the earth beautiful by growing more 

 geraniums on it. He prefaced his re- 

 marks with the following quotation: 



God might have made the earth brlug forth 

 Enough for great and small, 

 The oak tree and the cedar tree. 



Without a flower at all; 

 He might have made enough — enough 



For every want of ours — 

 For Luxury, Medicine and Toll, 



And yet have made no flowers. 



ERFURT SEED TRADE. 



It is to be feared that the prospects 

 of the Erfurt seed trade for this year 

 will not be very bright, as we have had 

 a rather long and severe winter. Espe- 

 cially in the month of January we had 

 for a whole week very hard and frosty 

 weather, 15 degrees below zero Fahr., 

 which was all the more detrimental to a 

 good many different plants, cultivated 

 for the production of seed, as the frost 

 just then was not accompanied by a 

 layer of snow. 



All the same, a great part of our 

 Erfurt seed producers have succeeded in 

 bringing vegetables, a lot of cauli- 

 flowers, cabbages, etc., fairly well 

 through this winter, but nevertheless, 

 great damage has been done to par- 

 snips, carrots, corn salad, leek, chervil, 

 kohlrabi, swedes and cabbages, as most 

 of them are left in the fields over win- 

 ter unprotected. A good many of our

seed growers will have to try their luck 

 with annuals, seeding the same year, in 

 order not to let their fields lie idle. 



April was favored with exceptionally 

 fine weather, which permitted a good 

 many growers to plant out cauliflowers 

 by the middle of that month. 



As far as the stocks, wallflowers, 

 cinerarias, calceolarias, etc., are con- 

 cerned, it is now evident that tliose 

 plants have passed the winter in houses 

 and pits fairly well, and there is every 

 reason to think there is a good outlook 

 for them, provided, of course, the com- 

 ing summer will be a good one. Many 

 growers had a tough time last winter 

 with their plants to keep them alive, 

 as they are for the most part winterpcl 

 in pits, and few of them arc jiipod.
