llention The Review when yog •write. 



As the days are now lengthening, vege- 

 tation is iikelj' to start up quite early 

 under the slight covering now left on 

 the bulb fields. Nothing can, of course, 

 be said yet at; to the likely results of 

 such an advanced season, but experi- 

 ence has shown that in few cases can 

 any benefit b>> reaped from it. Even at 

 the present n'oment a dose of snow and 

 a good bit of frost would do more good 

 than harm. 



' ' Seedsmen are now exceedingly busy, 

 and have been much upset by the out 

 of season mild weather; not even the 

 extraordinarily long working hours 

 made it possible to cope with the con- 

 tinuous inpour of orders, and it is likely 

 that many seeds will be sown in too 

 cold a ground to secure germination un- 

 less spring weather should really set in 

 in February instead of in March."
