The Weekly FI<*ists' Review. 



April 1, 1909. 



The Merits of the Philippine Lily 



It thrives under glass and in the garden. It forces in 100 days from 

 time of potting to bloom. Can be repeatedly forced with increasing vitality. 

 Two crops of flowers in a year, from the same bulb, may be obtained. 

 Bulbs planted in the open ground the first of May will bloom the last of July; 

 the same bullsB, dug the last of September, rested until December and potted 

 up, will bloom in March. Free from disease, every bulb sure to bloom. 

 Can be grown in the winter under ordinary house care. The blooms are 

 luassive in form, elegant in outline, pure in color and agreeable in fragrance, 

 lasting from ten to twelve days.

these were samples offered the depart- 

 ment and were tested previous to pur- 

 chasing; the remainder were samples 

 from seed actually purchased for dis- 

 tribution. Exclusive of packets of 

 vegetable and flower seed, a memoran- 

 dum of the analysis is sent with each 

 lot of seed distributed, showing the 

 kinds and number of any weed seeds 

 present and the percentage of germina 

 tion. 



Adulterated Seeds. 



"The collection and- examination of 

 samples of clover, alfalfa and grass 

 seeds have been continued, with the re- 

 sult that the adulteration of most of 

 our common farm seeds has practically 

 ceased. There is still offered in the 

 market, however, a considerable amount 

 of both Kentucky blue grass seed and 

 orchard grass seed which is badly adul- 

 terated. The suggestion has been fre- 

 quently made by seedsmen that Canada 

 blue grass seed is harvested with that 

 of Kentucky blue grass, and in order to 

 determine this point definitely a care- 

 ful examination of the Kentucky blue 

 grass seed-producing area in the states 

 of Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and 

 Iowa was made just previous to har- 

 vesting time. In no case was there evi- 

 dence that mature seeds of the two 

 kinds would be harvested together,
