aienttoo The Review wuen rou write 



issued about October 1, from which the 

 following is quoted: 



"While garden peas and Golden 

 Self -Blanching celery have been in ex- 

 tremely short supply for the last two 

 years, yet never before in the history 

 of the seed trade have there been so 

 many or such alarming shortages as in 

 seed crops of 1911. There is almost a 

 famine, not only in peas and French- 

 grown Golden Self-Blanching celery, 

 but also in nearly all the beets, man- 

 gels, carrots and parsnips, as well as in 

 certain cabbages, radishes and turnips. 

 Eastern-grown cucumbers are only one- 

 fourth to one-half a crop. California 

 sweet peas average little more than 

 half a crop. Our crops of Connecticut- 

 grown Eed Globe and Yellow Globe 

 onions are also, unfortunately, short in 

 yield of seed, while Gibraltar onion is 

 almost a complete failure. 



' ' In our extensive travels the past 

 summer (more than 30,000 miles) the 

 only country in Europe where we found 

 seed crops uniformly good was De»- 

 mark. On both the islands of Amager 

 and Zealand the crops of cabbage and 

 cauliflower were better than we have 

 seen for years and the seed should pos- 

 sess unusual vitality, so that our mar- 

 ket gardener friends can well afford to 

 purchase a two years' supply." 



The Burpee circular on sweet pea 

 novelties and the advance offer on 

 sweet peas were issued, as usual, Sep- 

 tember 20. 



TULIPS IN HOLLAND. 



Last year the prices for tulips were 

 generally so low that some growers had 

 to pay more rent for the ground than 

 they received for the bulbs. Such va- 

 rieties as La Eeine, Yellow Prince, Mu- 

 rillo, etc., once rather expensive, were 

 sold for nearly nothing. The general 

 opinion was that too many tulips were 

 grown in the bulb country. Formerly, 

 in the northern districts, in the envi- 

 rons of Alkmaar, cabbage was the lead- 

 ing crop, but as this cfilture ceased to
