eral, the season has not been satisfac- 

 tory from the country dealer's stand- 

 point and he is averse to placing an 

 order for future supplies until the pres- 

 ent surplus is disposed of. 



The bulb business is not as good as 

 it should be according to reports. Some 

 of the jobbers fear that a drop in prices 

 will be necessary to close out properly. 



G. F. Kleih, Dubuque, la., advertises 

 as follows in the local papers: "Every 

 true lover of sauerkraut should buy cab- 

 bage seed from me; the kinds suitable 

 for this country." 



A CAREFUL inspection of the onion 

 fields that were sown early for sets in 

 the Chicago district shows the seed to be 

 sprouting fairly well and an average 

 stand in most cases is expected. At 

 Louisville the fields for onion sets show 

 a good stand; the growers are starting 



to run the cultivators. A full acreage 

 has been planted. 



AS CLAHKS SEE CONDITIONS. 



Under date of May 3 Arthur B. Clark, 

 of the Everett B. Clark Co., Milford, 

 Conn., reports as follows on conditions in 

 the territory in which the firm operates: 



"Here in Connecticut the season is 

 something like two to three weeks back- 

 ward. There have been so many back- 

 ward seasons of late years, however, that 

 possibly we should change our basis of 

 reckoning. But, even so, this will have 

 to be classed as a cold, backward spring. 

 We had our April in March and out 

 March in April. Judging from the tem- 

 perature today, we may look for another 

 February in May. So far farmers have 

 had to work in their overcoats and at 

 the risk of pneumonia at that. 



"The onion seed acreage hereabouts 

 is an average one and it was only yes- 

 terday that the last onions were set. 

 Onion bulbs wintered only fairly well. 

 Beets, carrots and parsnips, on the other 

 hand, are coming out of the pits in 

 prime condition, what there are of them. 

 The quantity of these latter, however, 

 is greatly reduced this year, particu- 

 larly of carrots, of which there will be 

 only a trifling acreage. Turnips also 

 will be set in less quantity than usual, 

 as growers in this section have difficulty 

 in finding a dollar growing this seed at 

 present prices. 



"As to corn, we have strong seed 

 with which to start out and by the time 

 our growers and ourselves get this into 

 the ground Mother Nature must have 

 surely warmed up to her job. The seed
