new American specific rates of duty on 

 bulbs. The practices which unprincipled 

 persons are said to have employed to 

 defeat the ad valorem duty will now 

 be done away with and the reduction 

 effected on tulips of the better varieties 

 is expected to result in an increase in 

 demand which will eventually be re- 

 flected in better prices in Holland. 



The tulips this year appear to be a 

 quite satisfactory crop in all bulb dis- 

 tricts, but hyacinths have not come up 

 to expectations. Narcissi are a fine crop 

 and crocus generally is good. 



ONION IN CONNECTICUT. 



Watson S. Woodruff, who was last 

 year president of the American Seed 

 Trade Association and who is a member 

 of the firm of S. D. Woodruff & Sons, 

 Orange, Conn., has been much interested 

 in the pictures of Ohio and Illinois onion 

 fields for seed recently published in this 

 department of the Eeview; in fact, he 

 was so deeply interested that he went 

 out to one of his own fields and took a 

 photograph, August 14, just to see how 

 the pictures would compare. He says 

 the result is such that he has for the 

 present at least given up all thought 

 that Connecticut is about to be eclipsed 

 as a seed growing state for onion. And 

 this is with a crop about which he says 

 he does not feel they can brag at all 

 this year. 



Mr. Woodruff says he does not wish 

 in the least to disparage the efforts of

anyone who may want to try his hand at 

 seed growing, but that really the heads 

 of onion seed must be large and close 

 together to produce a crop that will 

 pay a living profit; when one almost has 

 need of the proverbial fife and drum to 

 call the heads together, there is nothing 

 in the crop to pay for time and bother. 



THE FIXITY OF SWEET PEAS. 



Eegarding the English controversy on

 in my notes on sweet peas, in the Ee- 

 view of August 12, I am now able to 

 give particulars more fully. The chal-

 Birmingham, and stipulated that he 

 would give £10 to gardening charities 

 and all expenses of the trial if there were
