and we have not had yet any rainfall. 

 This will in any ease put backwaids 

 the gathering of the seed crop. Amer- 

 ican buyers should not be surprised if 

 by the month of June or July higher 

 prices are ruling for any reliable seed 

 available. 



I am glad to state that all careful 

 growers and exporters to a man are 

 doing their level best to improve the 

 stock of Bermuda onion seeds, and the 

 time when complaints and unpleasant- 

 ness was rampant is a thing of the 

 past, provided buyers get their sup- 

 plies from any of the best firms in 

 Teneriffe. My own preaching on the 

 subject has had a very salutary effect 

 on the whole, and every one can look 

 forward with confidence to a more sat- 

 isfactory state of the trade both in 

 Teneriffe and in the X T nited States. 



I wish to make it clear to all Amer- 

 ican onion growers that my seeds can 

 only be obtained through seedsmen 

 and dealers in the United States, and 

 never direct from me.
