I have growing on my place at 

 Amelia, Ohio, 10,000 bulbs of 

 this variety that will bloom dur-

 bulblets produced last year.

This variety originated with 

 me and no stock has as yet 



passed from my possession. 



I wish to sell the entire stock 



and wish to hear from anyone 



interested in something really 



good. 



Call and see it growing in the 



field. 



CHARLES POMMERT, Amelia, Ohio 



to regulate its offers — through the 

 American Seed Trade Association per- 

 haps — so that a minimum might be 

 fixed, is a problem that body's execu- 

 tives might consider. It would be neces- 

 sary to avoid a combination in restraint 

 of trade liable to government prosecu- 

 tion. On the other hand, it might be 

 possible to obtain, for the seeds sold to 

 the government this year, considerably 

 more money than will be received by the 

 successful bidders among those whose 

 offers were read last Friday. 



ONION SETS AT CHICAGO. 



Because the acreage is somewhat re- 

 duced this year it is reassuring to find 

 that the Chicago district will have con- 

 siderably better than an average yield 

 of onion sets. Just what the outturn 

 will be can not, of course, be foretold, 

 as so uncertain a factor as the date of 

 the next good rain will determine quan- 

 tity, but it looks as though the crop 

 might easily be eight bushels per pound 

 of seed. An average crop is figured as 

 six for one and practically every patch 

 is counted on for something better than 

 that this year. A soaking rain within 

 the next few days would add a good 

 many thousand bushels to the total yield 

 of the district by causing the sets to 

 bottom out well; it would improve the 

 quality while adding to the quantity. 

 But to be of value the rain must come 

 soon; the crop is nearly made. Harvest- 

 ing the early sets will begin within the 

 week. 



A good many truckers who employ 

 labor, or would if they could, planted 

 no seed for sets this year; last year's 

 small crop and the high cost of labor 

 deterred them. The crop this year is 

 being grown in smaller patches by men 

 who have large families to do the work. 

 The average outturn last year did not 

 exceed three bushels per pound of seed 

 and there were many patches which did 

 not giye more than one bushel per pound 

 of high-priced seed. This year, how- 

 ever, seed was cheaper and canvassing 

 to place it was more thorough and as a 

 result there are a considerable number 

 of new growers, especially in the ter- 

 ritory southwest of the city.
