 Copenhagen, Denmark. 



It has often been shown that seeds 

 can be given away in a satisfactory 

 manner, but to sell them satisfactorily 

 needs the study of years. 



Labqe onions are selling for $1 per 

 hundred pounds in the Chicago market. 

 This, the market gardeners agree, is a 

 good figure for fall delivery. 



Onion seed of the red and yellow 

 flat sorts will be more plentiful than 

 the Globe varieties; both Globe and flat 

 whites will be exceedingly short. 



Eepobts from the bean growing sta- 

 tions indicate that beans of all kinds 

 will average well. No oversupply but, 

 barring some of the wax sorts, enough 

 to go around. 



The turnip-shaped radishes, especially 

 the forcing varieties, are exceedingly 

 short. California is about the only rad- 

 ish-growing district in the world which 

 has any sort of a radish-seed crop this 

 season. 



Again there is complaint that the 

 celery crop is developing about 25 per 

 cent of hollow stalks. The complaint 

 is not confined to the self-blanching 

 kinds, but takes in the late-keeping win- 

 ter sorts as well. 



The importations of seeds of Bermuda 

 onion are in from Teneriffe. The de- 

 mand, which was strong a couple of sea- 

 sons ago, now is reported as almost nil, 

 for the southern truckers will use the 

 Bermuda only as a last resort. 



Onion sets are moving oflf well at 

 good prices. It is reported from Louis- 

 ville that much of the product at that 

 point is in poor condition, owing to 

 wet weather and poor storage facilities. 

 The product of other points is reported 

 to be carrying well. 



Most varieties of peas are milling out 

 equal to expectations, and the estimates 

 of a month ago are being realized. 

 There is not likely to be any shortage 

 of the round varieties, but in wrinkled 

 sorts there will be a shortage of from 

 twenty-five to forty per cent.
