There is jKjrhaps- nothing so detri- 

 mental to success for a grower as ^oor 

 flowers. No matter where a florist's 

 store is located or how well it is deco- 

 rated, if the quality of flowers is not 

 there, the best customers will go else- 

 where and buy. There is nothing finer 

 than a pure White Lily of good quality 

 in its place, and as it requires a bulb of 

 good quality to produce such finery, 

 it is absolutely necessary that only the 

 best bulbs be procured. When you 

 are in the market for really good 

 Easter Lily Bulbs, write us— we can 

 supply you.

has the weather been favorable. At 

 Chicago the spring was extremely cold, 

 followed by severe and prolonged 

 drought; harvesting began last week 

 and the estimate is that the district 

 will give little more than half a crop. 

 In the Ohio district almost the opposite 

 condition prevailed; the season was too 

 wet, but the crop is light. At Louis- 

 ville, where operations are a number 

 of days earlier than in other onion set 

 districts, the harvest has shown a fall- 

 ing off from earlier estimates, which 

 were not for large yield. The western 

 crops average better than the others, 

 but are too small in acreage to cut 

 much figure.

GROWINQ SEED BEANS. 



The present crop of seed beans is 

 in more or less jeopardy, which makes 

 timely the following extract from a 

 manuscript by W. W. Tracy, of which 

 B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry, in transmitting it to 

 the Department of Agriculture for pub- 

 lication said: "Dr. Tracy is recog- 

 nized by the American seed trade as 

 an authority on all matters relating to 

 the nomenclature, growing, harvesting 

 and handling of vegetable seeds. This 

 paper is based on the author's personal 

 experience in this field of activity. ' ' 



The bean plant, says Dr. Tracy, 

 particularly if it be one of our gar- 

 den varieties, is exceedingly sensitive 

 to unfavorable conditions of heat and 

 moisture. If the soil is damp, but not 

 quite moist enough to secure good ger- 

 mination, the seed will malt or sprout 

 and die; if it is only a little too wet 

 the seed will germinate, but die with- 

 out expanding its true leaves. 



Young bean plants would be killed 

 or permanently dwarfed by a drench- 

 ing rain which would have no perma- 

 nent effect upon a young plant of corn.
