How different now! Hundreds and 

 thousands of acres of all kinds of veg- 

 etable and agricultural crops are stand- 

 ing for seed saving, supplanting the old 

 crops upon the farms. Whereas seed 

 growing in this district a few years ago 

 was located in one or two places, now 

 it is practiced by many farmers 

 throughout the province, most of them 

 growing on contract at a fixed price. 

 There are scarcely any Dutch wholesale 

 seed growers who have not seed crops 

 in Groningen, and it would be difficult 

 to find in this country any other district 

 with such great variety of soils as we 

 have in a limited area, comprising the 

 heaviest clay to poor, sandy soil. 



As Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, place 

 a large portion of their contract orders 

 in this district, they are intending to 

 arrange a seed warehouse at Winscho- 

 ten, so that they may clean the crops 

 direct from the farms. This arrange- 

 ment has become necessary, as farmers 

 rarely deliver their harvested seed 

 crops without needing recleaning. The 

 correspondent believes if Sluis & Groot 

 establish a branch of their business in 

 this district, seed growing will make 

 still greater development in the future, 

 and other firms will follow and estab- 

 lish their business in the midst of the 

 growing seed crops. 



OAUFOBNIA SWEET PEAS. 



In the catalogue of an English seeds- 

 man George W. Kerr, of W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee & Co., found such aspersions cast 

 upon California grown sweet pea seed 

 that he was moved to write a long let- 

 ter to the editor of a British trade 

 paper. What he had to say of the 

 quality of certain seeds sent out by the 

 publisher whose catalogue aroused his 

 ire is not of special interest, but what 

 he said of California seed is worth re- 

 printing: 



"The introduction contains some 

 rather sweeping assertions, some of 

 these apparently being directed against 

 the stocks of other sweet pea specialists, 

 but the first to hold my attention was 

 the following statement: 'The public
