bage which had been harvested is from 

 fifty per cent to as little as twenty-five 

 per cent of a normal crop. The poorest 

 results were with red cabbage. The 

 causes of the practical failure were frost 

 in the heads before planting last fall 

 and the attack of insects during the sum- 

 mer. 



The cauliflower crop was not yet har- 

 vested at the date of the report. The 

 Erfurt varieties promised to give a full 

 crop provided the weather until after har- 

 vest continued favorable. "With the Dry 

 Weather or Danish Giant varieties the 

 result was doubtful because the crop will 

 ripen unusually late. Turnip and Swedes 

 are a short crop and prices fifty per cent 

 higher than usual. The crop of mangold 

 is insignificant and not sufficient to cover 

 Danish demand. 



Lily of the valley pips are becoming a 

 '♦^ore important crop in Denmark. The 

 production this year is increased and the 

 quality excellent.

. NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY 



Work of Nomenclature Conunittee. 



Readers of the Review will undoubt- 

 edly be interested in the progress of the 

 work of the nomenclature committee of 

 the National Sweet Pea Society. Allow 

 me to present a brief outline of the work 

 in progress and in anticipation, aa fol- 

 lows: 



The committee, composed of M. Fuld, 

 Arlington, Mass.; A. T. Boddington, 

 New York, and William Sim, Clifton- 

 dale, Mass., with the writer as chairman, 

 was especially enjoined by the society to 

 state the practical aspects of the whole 

 question. These features may be sub- 

 stantially summed up in the (a) elimina- 

 tion of synonyms and (b) the testing of 

 new aspirants for public favor. In ad- 

 dition to these points, it has been thought 

 advisable to give some attention to cul- 

 tural studies, with special reference to 

 adaptations of varieties to fall and 

 spring seeding and the influence of the 

 time of seeding upon the resultant crop. 

 Successful plantings of a few standard 

 varieties are being made this fall and ad- 

 ditional plantings of these varieties will 

 be made again next spring. 



The soil selected is a well drained 

 clay loam, somewhat roUing in charac- 

 ter, but fairly uniform in its physical 

 make-up. 



Generous collections of seed have al- 

 ready been received from A. T. Bod- 

 dington, of New York, and W. W. Raw-
