rieties of tomato were quoted at from $3 

 to $4 per pound. Queen onion I find 

 listed at $10 per pound, and even up to 

 a period as late as 1875 Carter's Pre- 

 mium Gem peas were quoted at $1.50 a 

 quart; the Blue Peter variety at $1.25 

 a quart. The Beauty of Hebron potato 

 was first offered for sale in 1878, accord- 

 ing to Thorburn 's catalogue of that date. 



HoUand Bulbs in 1806. 



This parity of prices applied only to 

 seed and certainly not to the Holland 

 bulbs, for I have before me now a pnoall 

 invoice dated 1806, rendered by ' Our 

 house, a photographic copy of which jias 

 been preserved, showing hyacinths 

 charged at 3 shillings and 6 pence ster- 

 ling each and tulips at 2 shillings ster-

It seems curious, too, that in our cata-

 was listed — so many years ago — yet it 

 seems scarcely known by anybody, even 

 at the present date, though quite large 

 quantities of it are imported weekly from
