are not anxious to go into radish seed 

 growing on a larger scale and some of 

 them say they will quit it altogether. 



The sales of Dutch bulbs to the trade 

 for forcing were all that could have been 

 expected, but the catalogue and counter 

 trade with the public for bedding sorts 

 has not yet been what it should be. 

 Possibly it is because the weather has 

 been too fine.

MEADOW FOXTAIL. 



In the Review of October 10, Con- 

 rad Appel, of Darmstadt, was quoted 

 as saying the German crop of Alpocurus 

 pratensis turned out larger than last 

 year, but "in spite of the bigger new 

 crop, the owners are now quoting much 

 higher figures, having made a combine 

 to keep the prices. Under these cir- 

 cumstances it seems to be very risky to 

 conclude transactions at the present mo- 

 ment, basing upon prices which rule 

 from 90 to 95 marks per cwt. c. i. f., 

 German seaport. Considering the dif- 



New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber 



AMPELOPSIS LOWII 



This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampel(n)EiB Veitchii. 



The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a freab apple 

 green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn. 



In size the leaves are small, beautifully, dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped, 

 give a very pleasing etTect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over 

 a pillar, column or an old tree stump. 



This charming novelty clings closely and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers, 

 although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance. 



Hard plants for Autumn delivery, in pots $15.00 doz. 



Young plants for Spring delivery 7.50 doz.

ficult cleaning of this sort and taking 

 into account the loss in chaff, you will 

 perhaps, on the strength of the above 

 prices of the raw seed, be able to form 

 for yourselves an approximate idea of 

 the prices which have to be quoted this 

 season for high grade cleaned meadow 

 foxtail. It is therefore advisable to 

 wait with purchases until the situation 

 of the market is more settled."
