while orders are pouring in and stocks 

 of most af the varieties are quite ex- 

 hausted. On the stages, stocks look an 

 average crop. Carnations are just peep- 

 ing out, while large-flowering petunias 

 are now at their best. Cineraria, cycla- 

 men, calceolaria and primulas have all 

 been seeding fairly well. 



Visitors have been fairly numerous 

 both from the other side of the "herring 

 pond" and from this, though some bad 

 bad luck with the weather and did not 

 even get a bird's-eye view of the flower 

 fields. — Horticultural Trade Journal.

SWEET PEAS FOR SEED. 



Thei'e is no gainsaying the fact that 

 sweet peas of the Spencer type are large- 

 ly given to sporting, or, to be more cor- 

 rect, many flowers are so formed that 

 bees have a chance of assisting in the 

 work of fertilization. Consequently, 

 many seeds are the result of cross-fer- 

 tilization. One may walk down rows 

 of sweet peas and find the bees busy 

 enough on Spencer varieties, but pay- 

 ing practically no attention to the older 

 forms. Members of the cabbage family 

 intercross so freely through wind or in- 

 sect agency that for seed purposes the 

 crops have to be grown wide apart, and 

 so it will be with sweet peas. Those who 

 wish to be able to distribute true stocks 

 will have to isolate the varieties that 

 show this sportive character. 



Sweet peas are so popular, and the 

 prospects of extended sweet pea culture 

 are so considerable, that those growers 

 who distribute seed that can be depended 

 upon to yield the variety purchased will 

 reap a large reward. It is useless to ex- 

 pect a sweet pea to be suflSciently fixed 

 for distribution in its second year, and 

 unless the same care is taken with sweet 

 peas as with many other florists' flowers, 

 growers will unquestionably defeat the 

 en«l8 they have in view. Every raiser 

 wants to put his new varieties on the 

 market as soon as possible, and bis 

 hurry is the greater because he fears
