HOLLAND BULB CROPS. 



Now that both the tulip and hyacinth 

 crops in Holland have been harvested 

 and warehoused, it may be said that on 

 an average the results are more satis- 

 factory than were at first expected. The 

 hyacinth crop in general is fine, with the 

 exception of only a few varieties. Con- 

 sidering the much smaller acreage 

 planted out this season, this must be con- 

 sidered rather fortunate, as under these 

 circumstances it is likely that the supply 

 will be able to meet the demand, which 

 would not have been the case if the crop 

 had been a poor one. Nevertheless, as 

 the season is at least ten days backward 

 it is quite evident that shipments will 

 also be later than usual and the fine, dry 

 weather was certainly a great boon to 

 tlie growers, in securing perfect curing of 

 the bulbs just out of the grounds. 



As was at first expected, the crocus 

 crop is a poor one and the quantities on 

 hand will not be sufQcient to meet the 

 demand, but narcissi promise a good crop 

 all round, although the quantities to dis- 

 pose of are considerably less than last 

 season and no surplus is likely to remain 

 on the hands of any of the growers. 



Gladioli Colvillei, says the Horticul- 

 tural Trade Journal, are generally look- 

 ing weak and poorly, and good stock free 

 from disease is likely to be scarce and 

 therefore higher in price. 



ERFURT SEED CROPS. 



We thought last season an unusually 

 late one in the Erfurt district of Ger- 

 many, but the present bids fair to eclipse 

 it in this respect. A cold, late and dry 

 spring gave everything a bad start, and 

 low temperature, little sunshine and 

 plenty of rain have caused vegetation, 

 in popular phraseology, to take two steps 

 backward to every step forward. We are 

 now quite three weeks behind a normal 

 season, and the result is that it is diffi- 

 cult to make any sort of estimate as to 

 liow the various crops will turn out. 



The cabbage tribe, owing to heavy 

 stocks, was not largely planted and looks

only middling, except kales, which are 

 flourishing. Of lettuce there is a good 

 acreage which looks well up to date. 

 Garden carrots are poor, but field car- 

 rots promise much better. Onions are 

 fair, but want sun badly to bring them 

 on. Cauliflowers are likely to turn out 

 well, as far as we can see. Peas have 

 suffered from the weather, but may yet 

 yield satisfactorily. Beets look fairly 

 well, and mangolds are coming on 

 strongly. Swedes will be a bad crop. 

 Parsley is all right, but parsnip and leek 

 only moderate. 



The flower fields are not looking so gay 

 as they usually do. Perennials and bien- 

 nials are off bloom, and the annuals are 

 coming on tardily to take their places. 

 Annual poppies, larkspurs, phlox, Indian 

 pinks, nasturtiums, etc., are only strag- 

 gling into bloom, and the last named are 

 running too much to leaf. Sweet peas 

 have made a strong growth and are flow-

ering well. A large acreage is out and 

 the critical time of the pod setting is 

 now at hand. Asters are .ery backward 

 and absolutely nothing can be said now 

 as to their prospects. Of pansies a good 

 crop is unfortunately hardly to be hoped 

 for, as the moist and cloudy weather 

 causes so many of the best flowers to 

 drop off without setting. An army of 

 employees is hard at work gathering each 

 pod as it ripehs and growers are yearn- 

 ing for some genial solar rays to ensure 

 them some reward for their labors. Ivtean-
