So far as the matter of informing the 

 bureau is concerned, the work of experi- 

 menting has progressed to the final stage 

 and there is no longer any question as 

 to the future of the flower bulb industry 

 in the Puget sound region. The experi- 

 ments have conclusively demonstrated 

 that the bulbs can be successfully grown 

 here on a commercial scale and in com- 

 petition with the best bulbs of Holland. 

 It will be the purpose of the prospective 

 experimental station to demonstrate suc- 

 fessful methods of growing the bulbs in 

 the various soils of the Puget sound re- 

 gion and to issue bulletins explaining the 

 details of the business. 



THE BEST SWEET PEAS. 



We have compiled the following list 

 from our classified order book, say C. C. 

 Morse & Co., to indicate the compara- 

 tive popularity of the different varieties 

 of sweet peas as proved by actual orders 

 for seeds, which must represent sales, 

 and naturally prove what the public is 

 using. This list is based on this sea- 

 son's contract orders, beginning witli 

 I^ng Edward VII, with 9,000 pounds, 

 and so on with smaller amounts to the 

 fiftieth. The orders represent an aver- 

 age of 100 dealers, the largest in Amer- 

 ica and England. The most heavily 

 ordered twenty-five are named in order 

 in the first column, the second twenty- 

 five in order in the second column.

NASTURTIUM PEREGRINUM. 



Speaking of Nasturtium peregrinum, 

 the canary bird flower or canary creeper, 

 Sluis & (iroot, Enkhuizen, Holland, say: 



' ' The steady growth in the demand 

 for this really very valuable climbing an- 

 nual in various countries, induces us to 

 draw more particular attention to it in 

 America. 



' ' The appropriate popular name for 

 this lovely climber is derived from the 

 shape and color of its flower, which re- 

 sembles a canary j)erched on the twigs 

 of a tree. 



"The plant flowers abundantly, and 

 its' well-shaped, fine yellow flowers are 

 very effective upon the tender green foli- 

 age. 



"It is one of those climbers that do 

 not make too much straw, as some others 

 do, giving a rather disorderly, wild ap- 

 ])earance to a small garden in the autumn. 

 This very attractive, neat plant, however, 

 is still a quick grower, and flowers freely, 

 when there are no early frosts, till al- 

 most Christmas. For this rea.son it has 

 bft<'ome a great favorite for c"overing 

 veranda railings, balconies, etc. 



"It is easily cultivated and seldom 

 rauses disappointments to amateur gar- 

 deners. It attaches itself well to any 

 support without particular care in guid- 

 ing it. .\ltogether it is naturally (Jestined
