THE GARDENING WORLD. 
LONDON SEED TRADE. 
July 8th, 1885. 
Messes. Hurst & Son, 152, Houndsditch, and 
39, Seed Market, Mark Lane, report a very small 
attendance on Market, and the business transacted 
has been of a trivial character. There is no specu¬ 
lation in Clovers, and the only articles in demand for 
sowing are Rape and Mustard, which, however, only 
meet with moderate inquiry. New French Trifolium 
is now quoted at lower rates, but buyers do not 
operate, preferring to wait for the home crop, which 
is reported large, and prices will probably be under 
the average, particularly as only a small demand is 
anticipated. Canary firm at last week’s advance, 
other Bird Seeds unchanged.
