The Weekly Florists* Review. 



Skptembek 12, 1907. 



of the seed crops leaves uotbiug to be 

 desired. Cabbages promise well. The 

 crops of hearting cabbage seed in the 

 vicinity of Paris and in central France 

 are somewhat deficient; but in the south 

 the harvest will be excellent. The crop 

 of brussels sprouts is safe, and that 

 of cauliflower in Italy will be excellent. 

 Kohlrabi is everywhere good. Cucumber 

 and gherkin seed came up badly in the 

 north and center, owing to wet, cool 

 weather at the period of seed-sowing. 

 In the south the plants suffered much 

 less. Beana germinated badly, and the 

 quantity sown in the south was incon- 

 siderable. Cabbage, lettuce and summer 

 and winter endive are expected to yield 

 normal crops. Onions promise a good 

 crop, but the promise may be spoiled at 

 the last moment. Of the chief variety, 

 Vertus, several cultures in central 

 Prance are diseased, while about Paris 

 and in the south the condition of the 

 plants is extraordinarily fine. Leeks are 

 excellent, but land occupied by this crop 

 is limited in extent; the demand will 

 about be covered, and medium prices ob- 

 tained. Parsley showed well for seed, 

 and a good harvest is expected. Peas will 

 be plentiful, but as the demand is con- 

 stantly increasing, dealers are expecting 

 to get good prices. The harvest com- 

 menced early in July. Salsify and scor- 

 zonera promise good crops in France and 

 Holland, but the amount of land under 

 these crops is not great.
