There is reported to be a great rush 

 for seeds of the finer sorts of sweet peas 

 with the trade in England. 



Some onion-set growers hope that 

 onion seed may come within the reach of 

 all; others hope that it may not. 



Onion sets are moving out rapidly, 

 with no easing up of the demand. There 

 are yet six good weeks for any who have 

 a surplus of this article to move it. Do 

 not get discouraged. 



A. C. HoYT says that up to the pres- 

 ent time Toledo's clover receipts amount 

 to about 23,000 bags and in 1897, when 

 we had the largest seed crop in the his- 

 tory of the country, Toledo's receipts 

 were 160,000 bags, or about seven times 

 as much as this year. In 1897 local deal- 

 ers were selling seed at $2.75 to $3 per 

 bushel, now at $11 to $12 per bushel. 

 Even at the prevailing price fanners 

 claim it pays to sow clover seed and 

 some say it would not be prohibitive at 

 $20 per bushel.

 from a trip to California. 



Latest advices from Holland are of 

 severe cold with the ground bare of 

 snow, and the bulb growers say January 

 was a trying month on the bulbs. 



Field corn that will germinate a high 

 percentage is reported to be exceedingly 

 hard to get. The late maturing sorts 

 are the varieties that are hardest to ob- 

 tain. 



LILY BULBS. 



F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New 

 York, met Robert Fulton, of the same 

 firm, at Chicago February 17, the latter 

 on his way home from Japan, where he 

 has been for several months. Mr. Henry 

 says that the surplus of multiflomm 

 bulbs dumped into the London auction 

 rooms this season does not indicate an 

 overproduction of bulbs, but a lessening 

 of the demand for that variety, the call 

 now being for giganteums, of which it is
