long since been cut, although not yet 

 cleaned. The seeds will probably prove 

 to be very small and somewhat light, 

 but of good quality. 



"Carrots. — The crops of carrot seed 

 are very light indeed. The roots, hav- 

 ing suffered from the wet season of 

 last year, kept badly through the win- 

 ter, and the drought during the sum- 

 mer completed the undoing of this crop. 

 Consequently the prices rule very high. 



* ' Onions. — The remarks on carrots ap- 

 ply equally to onions, and the outlook 

 for these two important vegetables is 

 anything but a rosy one, plants and 

 bulbs being very scarce indeed. 



' ' Mangolds. — Although these gave 

 promise of a fairly good crop at one 

 time — in the early stages — being more 

 robust growers than beets and more 

 able to withstand drought, yet before 

 the plants developed seed the black fly 

 appeared, and gradually smothered 

 most of the plantations, stopped the 

 growth of the seed, and killed many of 

 the plants. Hence the yield will prove 

 to be less than for many years. 



* * Lettuces.-^These are not so bad gen- 

 erally as some vegetable seeds. The 

 plants in some places have suffered se- 

 verely, but where they have stood, the 

 yield may be put probably at not much 

 more than half a crop. 



* * Badishes. — The continental crops of 

 radish seeds are extremely poor, and in 

 England, although somewhat better, 

 they are yielding badly. The promise 

 was good, and plantations looked like 

 yielding well from the appearance of 

 the pods, but none contains more than 

 a few seeds, and many pods are quite 

 empty. The yield barely comes up to 

 half what was expected. 



"Flower Seeds. — Flower seeds have 

 fared, as a rule, somewhat better than 

 vegetable seeds, and in a very few 

 cases the plants have produced good 

 crops. In many instances they have 

 suffered considerably, and have yielded 

 little or no seed, asters being among 

 the worst failures. Sweet peas are also 

 a very moderate crop, although the 

 quality of the seed is considerably bet- 

 ter than in the last two years. Nas- 

 turtiums suffered from the great heat, 

 with the result that the crop is a very 

 light one. . Many perennials and bien- 

 nials have suffered severely, such as 

 Canterbury bells, myosotis and others, 

 and the crops are deficient, whilst the
