There seems to be no letup in the de- 

 mand for seeds. Large orders for re- 

 plantings are now coming in. 



Edward S. Leonard, of the Leonard 

 Seed Co., Chicago, is home from a brief 

 visit to the woods of northern Wisconsin. 



It is said that a large percentage of 

 the onion set crops at Chicago already has 

 been sold into second, third and fourth 

 hands. 



It looks as though the war will result 

 in valley pips commanding unusual prices 

 for several years after the return of 

 peace. 



It is reported that one Chicago opera- 

 tor in onion sets, a man not often heard 

 of by the trade in general, cleaned up 

 $100,000 in the last season. 



The opinion seems to be spreading that 

 seed supplies for 1918, as a whole, will be 

 far shorter than they were this season. 

 Only an unusually good crop can relieve 

 the condition. 



The acreage of onion sets at Chicago 

 is thought to considerably exceed that of 

 1916, and the condition of the crops at the 

 beginning of June was decidedly better 

 than a year ago, but the market is firm. 



The Page-Clark Seed & Nursery Co., 

 of Billings, Mont., has been reorganized 

 to carry on a larger business, the newly 

 elected officers being H. H. Hortman, 

 J. W. Shea and R. C. Dillavou. The com- 

 pany this year has bean seed contracts 

 covering 4,500 acres. 



It is stated that the British govern- 

 ment has given instructions that steamer 

 space be provided at New York for con- 

 signments of vegetable seeds needed in 

 England. Heretofore seeds have had to 

 take their chance at the limited space 

 available for general merchandise. 



Representatives of Holland houses 

 still in this country are hearing from 

 home to the effect that shipping bulb and 

 nursery stock to the United States again 

 has been made possible by an arrange- 

 ment between the governments of Great 

 Britain and Holland. This confirms simi- 

 lar news emanating from "Washington, 

 printed in The Review several weeks ago. 



"We visited every seed store in the 

 city last week," says a correspondent at 

 Nashville, Tenn., "in search of some 

 standard varieties of beans, and also of 

 cow peas, without finding a single seed. 

 We did not find a soy bean of any variety 

 in the entire round. In general, we have 

 never seen the stocks of seeds of all 

 kinds so low in this city as they are today. 

 The question is, where are the seeds to 

 come from for next season's business t"
