have prices too low, especially on the 

 popular varieties of wax sorts, as the 

 deliveries are falling much below esti- 

 mates. 



Cucumbers and muskmelons should be 

 higher than last year, although the trade 

 in general seems inclined to hold close 

 to last year's prices for the retail cata- 

 logue. 



• Golden Self Blanching celery is one 

 item that must go up. Onion seed, it is 

 thought, should stand at last year's 

 prices. Beets, radish and all root crops 

 would stand for an advance. Sweet corn 

 is worth as much or more. Peas of all 

 varieties and pole beans are shorter than 

 they were reported at this time last year. 

 The dwarf limas are as scarce and judg- 

 ing from reports gathered from reliable 

 sources nothing in garden seeds need be 

 priced low. 



LILY BULBS. 



A suit, the outcome of which will be 

 watched with interest by the trade be- 

 cau.se of the fact that everyone dealing in 

 seeds and bulbs is exposed to the same 

 danger, has been instituted by Eugene N. 

 Foss against Herbert W. Kawson and 

 Sarah E. Eawson, executors of the estate 

 of W. W. Eawson. The action is in the 

 Superior Court at Boston and the bill 

 filed in connection therewith sets up a 

 claim for damages in the sum of $10,000 

 as the result of the alleged failure of a 

 crop of lilies forced for Easter, 1908. 



Eugene X. Foss is proprietor of the 

 Eosemere Conservatories, at Dorchester, 

 of which David Eing is superintendent. 

 In his bill of complaint Mr. Foss says 

 that in 1907 he bought 9,200 lily bulbs 

 from the late Mr. Eawson — 4,100 of them

DELIVERY 



LILY OF THE VALLEY 



EXPOSITION GRADE. This is an extra fancy ^rade of Berlin crowns. There are 

 never enough of them to supply the demand. Out of Mr. Reimsebneide^'s entire growinK, 

 he usually has only 50,000 to 75.000 of this grade, which Is evidence of the care with which 

 they are nelpcted. In cases of 2000 cro^ms, at $32. OU per case; $17.00 per 1000. 



PERFECTION GRADE. This is a true Berlin, extra selected, 3-year-old straight, 

 long, clean crown with long fibrous roots. Under proper treatment, they force out with 

 tall racemes, bearing tbe maximum number of larre bells free from decay at the bottom. 

 The foliaire is ample but not too abundant. In cases of 1000 pips, at $14.00 per case. 



HOLSATIA GRADE. These are suitable for later forcing, or for cold storage 

 Turposes, and are highly recommended to seedsmen. Very fine selected 3-year-oId Ham- 

 burg Pips, very heavy roots, extra strong growth. Will hold over well in cold storag* and 

 produce good flowers the following fall. In cases of 2500 pips, at $30.00 per case;
