All ven- tilating: drafts are a,voided, and ilie at- mosphere kept close and moist. We shall report the prepress of this larg-e crop and final averag-es late'-, as it is a matter of much interest to the trade. An innovation is a crop of .^.OOO Del- phinium Belladonna, grown in 6-incli pots for Easter. They carry from five to seven shoots, the stronfrost of which ire now setting- buds. They are beautifully clothed with foliage, and should, when in flower, prove ideal plants, their lovely shade of blue making- them very de- sirable.
