look well because of \vi»rnis and bad 

 weather. Of sugar beet we expect a 

 good crop, but there are few plantations. 

 Of carrots there is not a very promising 

 staiid. Parsnips are good, with the usual 

 acreage. The new crop of cornsalad 

 will be relatively small. The plantations 

 of summer radish are not important, 

 but they are partly looking well, though 

 in some instances they promise less than 

 a medium crop. Onions are a small 

 acreage and the crop variable. Only a 

 small area of parslej was planted, but 

 this looks promising. " The plantations 

 of spiqach are of usual importance and 

 they are looking rather well, but part 

 of them were lost last spring. Of dwarf 

 and runner beans the gmeral standing 

 is under middling, but thj* plantations 

 are rather important. 



• Owing to favorable weather the fields 

 of flower seeds are looking well, with the 

 exception of a few perennial articles 

 which suffered more or less from frost, 

 such as Campanula medium and Myoso- 

 tis dissitiflora. Little candytuft was 

 sown ; crop middling. Centaurea is good, 

 and convolvulus extra good. Dianthus, 

 eschscholtzia, mimulus, petunia, and ver- 

 bena are all extra good. Ten weeks' 

 stocks arc magnificent. Phlox are look- 

 ink well but there will not be many 

 seeds. Nasturtiums are much less in 

 area than usual, but look good. Pansies 

 are not largely planted. They look all 

 right, but, if the drought continues, will 

 not prodnce many seeds. Mignonette in 

 some places is thin, especiallv the better
