beets, good. liCttuce got spoiled a lot 

 by rain, but crop will perhaps be good. 

 Onions, fairly good; leeks, bad, but in 

 some places fairly good; radish, good; 

 cucumbers, undoubtedly bad; melons, 

 good. Gourds may be good; peas, fair, 

 and beans at the best only fairly good. 



Concerning the flower seed crop, it 

 may be said that asters will perhaps be 

 good; Impatiens balsamina, about the 

 same; summer stocks, fairly good; win- 

 ter stocks, good; wallflowers, fair; holly- 

 hocks (Althaea rosea fl. pi.), very bad; 

 larkspurs, bad; poppy, fairly good; 

 scabiosa, perhaps good; antirrhinum, the 

 same; celosia, only medium; dianthus, 

 perhaps good; lathyrus, only medium; 

 lobelia, up to now, good; petunias, phlox 

 and reseda (mignonette), good. Tagetes 

 suffered much from rain and will only 

 be medium. Tropa>olum and verbenas, 

 good; Viola tricolor maxima, medium; 

 Viola cornuta, good. Bellis wintered all 

 out, plants started from seed last spring, 

 promise to be fair or good. Calceolarias, 

 medium; calliopsis, good; campanula, 

 fair or good ; centaureas, perhaps good ; 

 convolvulus and cosmos, medium; elichry- 

 sum, gaillardias and godetias, perhaps 

 good; hclianthus, fair; iboris (candy- 

 tuft), good; iponwas, mimulus and my- 

 osotis, perhaps good; nicotiana, the 

 same; senecio, good, and zinnias, perhaps 

 good. 



This is the outlook for jnost things at 

 present, but it all depends on the 

 weather. If we get steadily dry and 

 warm weather, everything may improve; 

 if, on the other hand, rainy and dull days 

 set in, the views held at j^resent by our 

 growers out here may have to be revoked.

HOLLAND BULB CROPS, 



Now that all the early bulb crops havo 

 been lifted and dried, shipments have 

 at last been started and are now being 

 pushed with all possible vigor. The 

 general demand being better than was 

 at first expected, all tulips on the hands 

 of the growers have been sold at good 

 prices to the dealers, and no surplus, 

 with the exception of a few of the com- 

 mon late-flowering varieties, is likely to 

 be left. Dutch hyacinths are of fine 

 quality and are clearing off well. Of 

 the French stock there is rather too 

 much in the market. Crocus are being 

 sold at a premium and scillas are also 

 scarce this season. Narcissi have gone 

 up. in price somewhat and especially
