exaggerated, and, so far as I can gather, 

 no great damage has been done and the 

 crops show a fair promise. 



Of late years Italian grown seeds have 

 come much to the fore on the English 

 market, and the demand is enormously 

 on the increase. In future years they 

 •will no doubt be a much more serious 

 competitor with other producing centers. 

 As a rule they are far cheaper than 

 those from other countries, and, though 

 the quality a few years back left plenty 

 of room for improvement, the strains 

 are improving every year. In many 

 lines the Italian specialties in vegetable 

 seeds and many flower seeds can now 

 compare well with those of any country 

 in the world. I recently had brought un- 

 der my notice a plot of aster seed ob- 

 tained from Italy — the varieties Comet 

 and Victoria — at the price of 18 shil- 

 lings a pound, and they were equal in 

 ever;^ respect to some of the highest 

 grade German strains at four times the 

 money. 



In Holland the bulb farmers are in 

 the full swing of lifting and curing, 

 though the lifting in some cases is 

 finished. The crops generally are well 

 up to the average. Daffodils are in 

 plentiful supply and of fine quality. 

 Spanish iris are plentiful and cheap. 

 Gladioli, the early flowering section, 

 have experienced a smart drop in value 

 and can now be bought for little more 

 than half the prices quoted at the be- 

 ginning of the season. Hyacinths are 

 in good supply, but the demand for these 

 is every year getting less. They are not 

 wanted in England and, it is reported, 

 can be had at bargain prices in Hol- 

 land. 



Generally speaking, prices for all bulbs 

 are little below those of last year, but 

 have no tendency to rise. The sales in 

 England have not been so large as last 

 year and much grumbling is heard from 

 the travelers on their return from their 

 spring trip. J. B.
