were of good length and the number of 

 flowers was up to the standard and the 

 size of bloom was above the average. 

 The great quality of this variety is said 

 to be its absolute purity of color. Mr. 

 Fuld says there is not the slightest sug- 

 gestion of green or yellow, which is so 

 prevalent in the best white sweet peas of 

 today, and, furthermore, it is one of the 

 freest blooming white sweet peas he has 

 seen for the last three years. 



PEA AND BEAN CROPS. 



Burnet Landreth, Jr., of the D. 

 Landreth Seed Co., has just returned 

 from inspecting the pea and bean crops 

 in A'ew York, Ontario, Can., northern and 

 central Michigan, and eastern Wisconsin, 

 ;ind he reports that beans are not yet far 

 enough developed to permit any accurate 

 estimates, but in every instance they are 

 from ten days to two weeks late. The 

 stand is good, but, as they are just 

 coming into flower, it is difficult to tell 

 what the result will be. 



It seems evident to Mr, Landreth that 

 beans will he scarce, as he found a great 

 many bushels in the hands of farmers 

 who had failed to plant them, and unless 

 the beans which were planted yield much 

 more than the average, we may look for 

 a shortage in bush beans this coming 

 year. 



As to peas, in many instances the crop 

 is light. Owing to the" wet weather in 

 the, spring, the farmers were late in 

 planting; consequently some Extra 

 F'arlies were being harvested while other 

 patches were not even in bloom. The 

 dry weather has shortened the vines a 

 great deal, and the pods more so, many 

 pods containing only two peas. In fact, 

 lie saw quantities of Extra Earlies and 

 Alaskas with vines less than fifteen 

 inches tall. From the appearance of the 

 many fields which he inspected, he is of 

 the opinion that White Extra Earlies 

 certainly will not be more than fifty to 

 sixty five per cent of a crop, a great '

 of farmers will get back their planting

Alaskas, Mr. Landreth thinks, will be 

 very short, unless everyone has overcon- 

 trscted and the large growers have 

 planted for a considerable surplus. 

 American Wonders and Nott 's Excelsiors 

 will certainly be short, not more than 

 fifty per cent of a crop. Horsford 's and
