seventy-five ]>er cent of the grains will 

 ilevelop into plants which are typical of 

 the variety, while the remainder will 

 not germinate at ajl, and in the other, 

 though every seed is viable, only ten 

 or twenty per cent of tliem will pro- 

 duce typical ])lants of the sort, the 

 others developing into a medley of dif- 

 ferent forms and qualities, the first 

 lot, though only sixty to seventy-five 

 per cent viable, is decidedly the most 

 satisfactory and valuable. 



Stock. — Purity and evenness of vari- 

 etal character are the most important 

 factors in determining the real value 

 of seed. A seed is essentially a plant 

 packed for transportation, and carries 

 within itself the potentialities and lim- 

 itations of development of the plant 

 into which it may grow. With the 

 aid of climate and soil and through 

 the control of cultural conditions man 

 may secure more or less perfect ex- 

 pression of these potentialities, but he 

 can not add to or change them; they 

 were predetermined by the varietal 

 characteristics of the ))roducing plant 

 and its ancestors. In a few exceptional 

 cases such inherent varietal character 

 is more or less clearly indicated by vis- 

 ible peculiarities of the seed, but gen- 

 erally such indications are neither read- 

 ily di.scernible nor reliable, and one can 

 only know . the^arietal character of 

 the plant any given see<l will develop 

 into by having far more knowledge of 

 the producing plant and its ancestors 

 than is to be gained from the appear- 

 .ince of the seed itself.

weather the fall trade should liven 

 up a little. 



Flowers are becoming a little more 

 scarce than last week. Gladioli and 

 asters are to be had, but good stock 

 is scarce. Some Golden Glow mums 

 are to be seen, but do not move overly 

 well. Quantities of short-stemmed car- 

 nations are coming in. Brides, Maids, 

 Killarneys and Beauties are about the 

 same as heretofore. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Brandlein is cutting some 



good Golden Glow mums. Mr. Brand- 

 lein recently purchased the lot ad.ioin 

 ing him on the south from Alfred 

 Paluul and is just completing a new 

 house on it, in which he has planted 

 sweet peas.
