The reports as to German pansy seed 

 are not reassuring.

 ous seat over prices of other items be-

While beans are milling rather short- 

 er than was expected, still there will be 

 no alarming reduction in quantities avail- 

 able. 



A SHORTAGE of cars rather than a sur- 

 plus of the green-podded varieties is 

 what is bothering the bean grower at 

 present. 



The results of European crops of as- 

 ter for seed are likely to give further 

 encouragement to the growing of aster 

 seed in this country. 



The market price of onions is so low 

 that the seedsman who is putting figures 

 on the onion page of his catalogue re- 

 grets that seed is so high. 



The salesman who failed to book the 

 order last spring because his contract 

 pea prices were too stiff is now asking 

 his house for a percentage of the money 

 he made for it by the transaction. 



If seed of the flat varieties of onion 

 goes as high as $2 per pound, the price 

 that some predict it is likely to reach, 

 it is more than probable that the aver- 

 age onion set grower will cut down his 

 plantings. 



Chicago. — There is still considerable 

 demand for onion sets at good prices for 

 immediate delivery. Fall shipments are 

 holding on longer this year than usual. 

 All indications point to an exceptionally 

 good year for the set men and there 

 seems to be no doubt but what spring 

 prices will go higher than last year. 



The country merchants who handle 

 seeds in connection with their other lines 

 are generally extending the seed end, and 

 are arranging to carry seeds in bulk in 

 place of the boxes of packet seeds that 

 formerly were considered sufficient for 

 their trade. Their extensions and the 

 effort that hustling men are putting 

 forth in nearly every town of importance 

 will have a tendency to cut into the

CiX)VEB seed is strong on the Chicago 

 market and timothy firm. 



This is the season of the year when 

 the seed grower is kept busy explaining 

 why he is so long in making shipments. 



After all, it appears that there is 

 some little surplus in bulbs, including 

 almost everything but large sizes of 

 Harrisii. 



The canners of peas are preparing for 

 an unusually heavy pack next year. The 

 market already is practically cleaned out 

 of the 1906 pack. 



Market gardeners at Chicago report 

 that their onions are not keeping well 

 and that a serious loss will be occasioned. 

 The reason they give for it is that the 

 heavy frost which hit this locality in 

 early October was more severe than they 

 realized and that the onions were han- 

 I died too soon and put into pits and win-
