do not yield a tenth of what the old vari- 

 eties did, and this in a favorable season. 

 This year the proportion will be nearer 

 that estimated by Hugh Aldersey, viz., 

 one twenty-fifth or one-thirtieth. In the 

 seed-growing districts of Essex the sweet 

 pea crop is giving growers anxious con- 

 cern. Seed pods on plants on the flat, 

 which have not been sticked, are almost a 

 blank — in many instances the amount of 

 seed used for stock will not be returned. 

 Crops which have been sticked are far 

 from satisfactory. The spring was late 

 and cold, frosts continued into June, and 

 right through the summer the tempera- 

 ture was low, especially at night. This 

 condition of affairs, combined with rain 

 almost every other day, except for a fort- 

 night in August, prevented the flowers 

 setting. ' '

Crosby's Egyptian beet seed. Beet is 

 a crop that is not easy to show in an 

 illustration; the growth is such that 

 even in a good photograph, like the one 

 now reproduced, the crop is such a tangle 

 that it doesn't show for much but a 

 bramble. However, "Watson S. Woodruff
