tion in the evening of May 27, and 

 another for a few minutes in the first 

 days of June. Mr. Dery says his sales 

 for May. and June will certainly show 

 an increase of fifty per cent over the 

 sales for the same months last year. 



Charles E. Millham; of the Cleve- 

 land Seed Co., Avon, N. Y., is calling 

 on the trade on his way home from a 

 visit to the Pacific coast. He says that 

 the seed crops in the Santa Clara valley 

 and the beans in the southern part of the 

 state were in most luxuriant growth at 

 the middle of June but that the weather 

 "was dark and damp. 



It is reported that some seed estab- 

 lishments having numerous travelers on 

 the road, are seriously thinking of unit- 

 ing in a withdrawal of fixed prices on a 

 number of families of seeds, as for ex- 

 ample, peas and beans, as well as onion 

 seed, and possibly corn and vine crops, 

 the crops of whic"h hang in jeopardy by 

 reason of the unpropitious weather con- 

 ditions covering the whole country. 



PEA AND BEAN PRICES. 



A well-known pea and bean grower, 

 none known better, writes as follows to 

 a wholesale seedsman with whom he has 

 contracts : ' ' Peas were sown about a 

 month late and we cannot hope to get 

 more than a small crop. If any of your 

 friends want to send their travelers out 

 in June and July this year and take or- 

 ders for next winter's delivery at low 

 prices, don't get nervous, but let them 

 go ahead, and the punishment which they 

 bring upon themselves will last them 

 longer than any lecture you can give 

 them. ' '

HOLLAND BULB CROPS. 



Seldom, if ever, have bulb crops at the 

 beginning of June been so free from dis- 

 ease and so little of the blight in the 

 foliage of the tulips as was the case 

 this year. The warm and dry weather 

 of the last two weeks of May no doubt 

 did a great deal of good in this respect, 

 and from the present outlook a good 

 crop of tulips may be expected, but the 

 crocus crop, which is still in its grow- 

 ing state, is extremely poor. Hyacinths 

 are also looking well, Avith the exception 

 of some sorts that suffered from the last 

 keen frost and, besides, this crop needs 

 nearly all of the month of June to come 

 to full maturity, and a sudden change in 

 the weather may turn the scales. Nar- 

 cissi are also looking well generally, but 

 as the acreage planted out this season is 

 considerably smaller than last season, a 

 good crop will be needed to meet the ex- 

 pected demand.

The spring planted gladioli are nearly 

 all well above ground and it is apparent 

 that such gladioli as Colvillei will be a 

 short crop, as most of them are look- 

 ing weak, as if they had suffered from 

 the severe and late winter, while many 

 of the ranunculus are turning yellow al- 

 ready before having come into bloom 

 and have not been able to withstand the 

 severe night frosts we had in May, says 

 a Holland correspondent in the Horti- 

 cultural Trade Journal. 



EUROPEAN CROPS. 



Cooper, Taber & Co., of London, have 

 issued a report of crop conditions as 

 respects those sorts grown last autumn 

 and carried over the winter, all of which 

 have suffered more or less injury from 

 very unpropitious climatic conditions in 

 Europe. For example, only twenty-five 

 to thirty-five per cent of a crop of beet 

 seed can be looked for, and of carrot 

 only from twenty to sixty per cent of a 

 crop, according to varieties and loca- 

 tion, Danvers being the worst, as it 

 promises only one-fifth of normal ex-
