the present one, some time in the near 

 future, possibly this fall. 



Mr. Gundestrup 's estimate of his 

 onion-set crop is encouraging as compared 

 with the reports received from other 

 sources. His stock of onion sets is grown 

 for him, from seed furnished by himself, 

 on many different tracts of ground on the 

 northwest side of the city, and the re- 

 turns he has received from some of these 

 tracts indicate, he says, that his crop will 

 be at least fair, if not exceptionally good. 

 He says that the crop, so far as already 

 delivered to him, has averaged seven or 

 eight bushels to the pound of seed, and 

 in at least one case as high as twelve 

 bushels to the pound. The stock, also, is 

 good and sound in quality. It is now ar- 

 riving at his warehouse at the rate of 

 nearly 2,000 bushels daily, but the re- 

 ceipts will soon begin to decrease in vol- 

 ume and most of the stock will be in 

 .storage within the next three weeks. 



Mr. Gundestrup also deals extensively 

 in mushroom spawn, and nine-tenths of 

 hia stock of this article is imported from 

 England. He spent most of this summer 

 in Europe, visiting the great centers of 

 the seed trade. He says that European 

 seed crops are not only much below the 

 arerage, but, on account of the coldness 

 of the season, are maturing very slowly 

 and the harvest will be the latest on rec- 

 ord. Though the quantity of the yield 

 will undoubtedly be small, it is impossible 

 now to make positive predictions as to 

 the quality, but fears are entertained that 

 many of the crops will not ripen prop- 

 erly, Mr. Gundestrup saj's the weather 

 was unseasonably and almost uncomforta- 

 bly cold during almost the whole of June, 

 .Tuly and August, the months he spent in 

 Europe.

 in general, been satisfactory, and the

The harvest for the present year, so 

 far as an opinion may now be formed 

 for the various crops, will be as follows: 

 Seed of mangel wurzel will fetch medium 

 prices. The crops in the neighborhood 

 of Paris are in good condition. Beets
