Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cucumbers, 

 gourds and beans were rather short. The 

 supply of peas vras very short indeed. 



Coming to flower seed, I must say that 

 asters (sorts with lightly built flowers), 

 winter stocks, wallflowers, poppies and 

 lobelias were plentiful. Asters (with 

 heavier built flowers), balsams (Impa- 

 tiens Balsamina), Althaea rosea fl. pi., 

 larkspurs, scabiosas, celosias, Lathyrus 

 odoratus, phlox and zinnias proved rather 

 short. Stocks (Cheiranthus annuus), 

 antirrhinum, dianthus, petunias, mig- 

 nonette, tagetes, tropseolum, verbenas, 

 Viola tricolor maxima, Viola comuta, 

 bellis, calceolarias, calliopsis, campanula, 

 centaurea, convolvulus, helichrysum, gail- 

 lardias, godetias, iberis, mimulus, myoso- 

 tis, nicotianus, portulaca, senecio and 

 silene proved far too short fop the de- 

 mand. 



A Review of the Year. 



Of course articles that were not 

 plentiful got rather higher up in price 

 than was the custom in more favorable 

 years. Last year was in a good many 

 ways a bad one for our trade. The rough 

 and wet summer months caused a short- 

 coming in a lot of articles. But as all of 

 our seed growers had to suffer by the 

 same calamity, none of them had an ad- 

 vantage over his competitors. 



The last winter, too, was very trying 

 for our seedsmen. It was a long and 

 rough winter altogether. On January 3 

 we had to stand — 22 degrees Reaumur, 

 or 18 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. In 

 the well known Dreienbrunnen district, 

 where truck gardening is carried on on a 

 grand scale, a great quantity of water- 

 cress was frozen out, a thing that had not 

 happened since the year 1870. It was 

 fortunate that we had a lot of snow, so 

 that all plants wintered in the open fields 

 were not quite exposed to the hard frost, 

 of which we had a good bit, especially 

 in January. In this way Savoy cabbage, 

 Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi got over 

 the winter fairly well and promise to be 

 good at the next seed harvest. Flowering 

 plants, viz., pansies, bellis, myosotis, 

 silene, pinks (Dianthus barbatus), 

 Primula veris and P. Auricula, passed the

Burning; of J. C Schmidt's 'Warehouse. 



By the way, I should like to point out 

 that the statement which I have seen in 

 some American trade journals, that the 

 great fire which just before Christmas 

 destroyed a big warehouse belonging to 

 the firm of J. C. Schmidt, of Erfurt, 

 caused a great loss of seed, is not quite 

 correct. This large warehouse had been 

 used as a place for the drying of seeds, 

 but at the time of the fire it contained a 

 lot of cleaning machinery and a great 

 quantity of dried and dyed leaves for the 

 manufacture of bouquets, wall decora- 

 tions, etc., but really not much seed.

Happily the loss was to a great extent 

 covered by insurance. This firm, as well 

 as several others, is just now very busy 

 building big seed warehouses, and most 

 of them are massive brick buildings, too.
