as the men buying purchased conserva- 

 tively last spring, which is one of the 

 main reasons for the above condition. 

 This also applies to the small dealers 

 and florists, who on second thought have 

 decided to buy more bulbs for growing 

 and for local trade. 



"There is still a good month for selling 

 bulbs and, while there may be eventually 

 Bome surplus at the tail end of the sea- 

 son, it will be nominal." 



GARDEN SEED SUPPLIES. 



As regards seed crop supplies for the 

 approaching season of sale, conditions 

 are most unusual, because of the shortage 

 in stocks covering such a broad field as 

 respects genera and varieties. 



Every year there are harvested a few 

 short crops of seeds of certain families 

 of vegetables, while of other families, 

 and by far the greater proportion, there 

 are generally harvested either bouncing 

 seed crops or at least suflScient supplies 

 to fill all usual demands, but the past 

 summer and autumn of 1908 have devel- 

 oped an unprecedented condition of an 

 unusually lengthy list of short seed crops, 

 and worse yet, in many instances the 

 short crops of seed were of those par- 

 ticular varie'ties of which little was car- 

 ried over of crop 1907. 



This is most particularly noticeable 

 with the families of peas, beans, sugar 

 com, cantaloupes and other vine crops, 

 beet, tomatoes, egg plant and radish, 

 nearly all varieties of which have already 

 greatly advanced in value. Of some the 

 harvest has only been twenty, thirty and 

 forty per cent of expectations, while 

 many of them have only been saved in 

 such quantity as to warrant an expecta- 

 tion of seventy to seventy-five per cent of 

 ♦he prognostications of the summer. Seed 

 crop returns in the first instance, as 

 where the returns are thirty to forty per 

 cent, are most alarming, and in the 

 second instance, where the returns are 

 seventy to seventy-five per cent, they are 

 such as can only meet moderate demands. 



These conditions, which in many in- 

 stances it ^\•ill be perceived are most 

 stringent, are not yet so fully realized as 

 thqy will be in some few weeks hence, by 

 which time final reports from growers 

 will have been received, but even now
