UP AGAINST IT. 



If buggies break when horses shy. 



You settle at the Uyery; 

 If prices rise and others buy.

Bepoets indicate that peas are still 

 an uncertain quantity. 



New York. — Henry Nungesser & Co. 

 had 100 bags of grass seeds on the Hud- 

 son from Havre October 21. 



It is expected that this year's cata- 

 logues will have onion seed listed at 

 double the prices of last year. 



The picking of bouquet green in Wis- 

 consin woods began last week. Each year 

 it is necessary to go farther afield for 

 supplies. 



S. B. Barnes, Malvern, la., is going 

 into the farm and garden seed busi- 

 ness, paying particular attention to 

 seed corn.

 M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.; Morris 

 L. Smith, of the Madson Seed Co.,

Wax beans have been reported short 

 and, what's more, they are short. Every 

 delivery from the farmers makes the 

 shortage more apparent. 



Onion sets in the vicinity of Chicago 

 are going into winter quarters in good 

 shape. A dry rot in the whites may 

 cause trouble and seems to be the only 

 thing that worries, as prospects for the 

 future are for high prices. 



- '* '' .' 



The Globe varieties of onions, which 

 are the sorts in gre&test demand by all 

 up-to-date onion growers, are reported 

 ■''ery short. The flat varieties of all 

 colors are not as -plentiful as they should 

 be either, although there is likely to be 

 about enough of them to go around. 



Bean samples so far received bear out 

 the prediction made in the Review some 

 time ago that the coloring of this year's 

 crop would be excellent as a rule. 



Some large dealings in Eocky Ford 

 melon seed are reported this week at low 

 figures, viewed in the light of recent 

 reports from the growing stations. 



The demand for cabbage seed and 

 onion seed is likely to. be heavy the com- 

 ing spring, as all the principal markets 

 of the country show a sharp advance in 

 the prices of onions and cabbage, with 

 conditions pointing to a continued ad- 

 vance throughout the winter and spring. 



Considerable dissatisfaction is ex- 

 pressed by firms having contract orders 

 with growers of onion seed at the very 

 small percentage of a delivery they are 

 to receive of several important varieties. 

 There is the old story going around that 

 the grower cuts the delivery down in 

 order to realize an advanced price for 

 open orders.
