The above persons will therefore receive 
$2.50 each. A number of other lists were 
very nearly perfect. A mong those contain¬ 
ing but two or three errors are the follow¬ 
ing:—A. Grigg, Hamilton, Ont.; Geo. F. 
Guier, Baltimore, Md.; F. L. Bailey. La 
Plume. Pa. The lists showed very thorough 
painstaking work upon the part of many 
competitors, and we sincerely regret that so 
many of them must suffer disappointment. 
We have no doubt but that a 11 of them 
did work enough to earn the prize, and the 
most painful part is to deny them it, but of 
course we cannot pay all who tried. We 
sincerely hope that they derived pleasure 
enough from the work to repay them for 
the trouble.

At no time within the past ten or fifteen years 
has the outlook for market gardening been so 
favorable as at present. Public works are em¬ 
ploying all the men in all sections on full time 
at high wages. While this will give day labor¬ 
ers little time to grow their own garden truck, 
it will give them plenty of money with which to 
buy. Quick sales at verv remunerative prices 
may therefore be expected for 1883. 
Monthly roses, especially the tea scented 
are beautiful window plants. They need rich 
soil, thorough drainage, frequently washing of 
the foliage w'th a fine, rose syringe, as even a 
temperature as possible, carefully guarding from 
draughts of cold air, and smoking with tobacco 
if the green fly makes its appearance- They 
should have" the morning sun, but be shaded 
from the afternoon sun when it has become 
powerful. 
The fabmer has been elevated through sci¬ 
ence, and he should not forget the debt be owes 
to the mechanic, to the inventor, to the thinke~. 
He should remember that all laborers belong to 
the same grand family—that they are the real 
kings and queens, the only true nobility. 
“I am much pleased with your Seed-Time 
and Harvest. I cannot help expressing my 
gratification of your way of dealing with new 
varieties, setting forth the deffets as well as their 
merits. It is this confidence which prompts me 
to write to you. 1 am very well pleased with 
the Belle. It is all you claimed for it.—Josiah 
Hawkins, Sbuthport, Connecticut.” 
“I received the seeds all right and in good 
order. There were twice as many seeds as 1 
could buy here for the same money. Tillinghast 
for me in future. All are well pleased. Many 
thanks for promptness and liberality.—Thomas 
H. Trice, New Providence, Tennessee.
