Try GOLDEN QUEEN and PRESIDENT TAFT for forcing. 



One customer writes under date of May 25th: — 



"The Golden Queen that I ordered from you were planted in a carnation 

 house on February 7th, and we are now getting fine spikes and handsome flowers. 

 I find your variety to be one week earlier than Mrs. Francis King, ten days earlier 

 than Augusta and two weeks ahead of America. They have been perfectly satisfac- 

 tory in every way." 



I have also a fine stock of Mrs. King, Klondyke, Taconic, Independence, Brenchleyenais, Geo. Paul 



and other kinds. Write for trade list.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



Dobbie & Co., seed merchants, Edin- 

 burgh, one of the largest mail-order 

 firms' -in Great Britain, have this sea- 

 son issued 105,000 catalogues of 208 

 pages each. Sweet peas adorn the 

 cover. In 1911 their business increased 

 nearly twenty per cent. Eyder & Co., 

 St. Albans, another large mail-order, 

 seed house, commenced the_ new year in 

 extensive, finely equipped new premises. 



Kobejrt Inch and Andrew Eiddell, at 

 one time in partnership as seed mer- 

 chants in Edinburgh, but later engaged 

 in business separately, died within two 

 days of each other, in the closing week 

 of 1911. Both were well known and 

 highly respected members of the Edin- 

 burgh seed trade. Bee. 



SEED TIME AND HARVEST. 



The Department of Agriculture has 

 issued the first of a series' of bulletins 

 dealing, with exhaustive investigations 

 made -with regard to seed planting^ and 

 harvest dates for the principal crops 

 throughout the United States. The 

 data will no doubt well repay careful 

 study by seedsmen. 



"Because southern latitudes are first 

 to feel the advance of spring," says 

 the bulletin, "it is quite natural to 

 suppose that planting and harvesting 

 always move northward with its ad- 

 vance. As a general fact, the progress 

 of sowing and harvesting is northward, 

 but there are interesting exceptions. 

 Of cereals sown in the spring sowing 

 and harvesting always move in a north- 

 ward direction, while of those sown in 

 late summer or fall the sowing move- 

 ment is always southward. Harvesting 

 progresses northward in the case of all 

 cereals except buckwheat. Corn plant- 

 ing progresses northward ; winter wheat 

 sowing moves southward. The harvest- 

 ing of corn and of winter wheat 

 progress northward, but the sowing 

 and harvesting of buckwheat progress 

 southward. 



"It should be remembered that there 

 are many causes which influence the 

 times of sowing and harvesting and, 

 while a line connecting places .which 

 sow or harvest sinfhltaneously w^V fim 

 in the main from east to west,«rafeje' 

 are curious irregularities, deviations 

 here and there, depending^ 'primarily
