Half a crop of onion seed is about all 

 that any of the California growers are 

 looking for. 



The harvest of onion sets in the Chi- 

 cago district will likely begin a week to 

 ten days earlier than last year. 



Reports from Iowa and Nebraska 

 state that crops of sweet corn are in good 

 shape so far, and that the outlook on 

 vine seed crops is satisfactory. 



The agricultural appropriation bill is 

 back in conference again, but it is the 

 meat inspection amendment, not the one 

 for free seeds, which is holding up the 

 final passage of the bill. 



Luther Burbank, who already has a 

 record in the way of the potato that 

 bears his name, again has taken up that 

 family with the purpose of improving 

 on existing varieties. A large planting 

 of potatoes has been made on his 

 grounds at Santa Bosa. 



Visited Chicago: — J. C. Robinson, 

 Waterloo, Neb., en route to his old home 

 in Washington county. New York. He 

 will take in the seedsmen 's convention 

 returning; Waldo Rohnert, Gilroy Cal., 

 en route to seedsmen's convention, via 

 Detroit, Mich., his former home. 



Reports in general indicate a satis- 

 factory condition of summer trade. There 

 seems to be no unusual demand for tur- 

 nip seed. The weather has been unfa- 

 vorable for the usual plantings of beans 

 and the demand for the article at present 

 is below normal. There is still quite a 

 demand for good tomato plants. The 

 outlook is that th« supply of spinach 

 seed for midsummer planting will be 

 short of the demand. 



Chicai.o: — Charles Hollenbach and 

 Lcoiiiinl If. Vaughaii are a committee on 

 Iransjiortjituin to look after the comfort 

 of the (liicago delegates to the seeds- 

 men s cunvfiition. This committee is 

 perfecting arrangements with the Wa- 

 bash F\. R. from Chicago to Toledo, and 

 it desires to hear from any of the west- 

 ern seedsmen who intend coming via Chi- 

 cago. Address either Leonard H. 

 Vauglian, care of Vaughan 's Seed Store, 

 or Charles Hollenbach, Hollenbach 's 

 Seed Store, Chicago. Time schedule and 

 rates will be known shortlv.
