He removed to Kansas City in 1872 and 

 became associated •with A. G. Trumbull 

 in the grain and seed business. In 1873, 

 J. N. Allen, a 'third partner, was taken 

 in, the firm name becoming Trumbull, 

 Eeynolds & Allen. For several years and 

 up to the time of his death, Mr. Eeynolds 

 ■was connected with the Kansas CSty 

 Grain and Seed Company. He left a 

 considerable estate. A widow and four 

 children survive. 



MARKET GARDENING IN TEXAS. 



The rapid development of market 

 gardening in southern Texas has caused 

 the Agricultural Experiment Stations to 

 compile and publish a bulletion on 

 "Onions and Bunch Crops" givip^ in 

 detail variety tests of onions, teete, rad- 

 ishes, lettuce, , carrots and turnips grown 

 under average market gardening condi- 

 tions in the Beeville district. Not only 

 does the bulletin show the better va- 

 rieties but it designates the seedsman 

 from whom the seed was obtained. 



In the onion tests all seeds were sown 

 October 30, 1903, and the sets moved to 

 the field February 3, 1904. On May 10 

 a fifty-foot row of Red Bermuda yielded 

 sixty-three and one-half pounds of mar- 

 ketable onions. This was seed from S. 

 A. McHenry. On June 12 Burpee 's New 

 Mammoth Silver King yielded forty-nine 

 pounds from a similar space, but only 

 forty-six pounds were marketable. Mau- 

 le's Prizetaker gave but twenty-one and 

 a half pounds on June 23 and most of 

 these were small. All tests have shown 

 the superiority of the Bermudas for 

 Texas conditions. 



Of bunch crops beets are most im- 

 portant. The bulk of the crop reaches 

 market in from eighty to ninety days 

 from seed sowing. With good culture 

 two crops may be grown on the same 

 soil during the season from October to 

 May. Earliness, evenness of develop- 

 ment and a small tap-root are desired, 

 the latter being important because of 

 express rates, eighteen to twenty dozen 

 bunches of big-rooted sorts filling a bar- 

 rel which hol£ twenty-five dozens of va- 

 rieties of better form. In the test seed
