year at Chicago has been variously esti- 

 mated. It has been given out by S. F. 

 Leonard that the crop at Chicago in a 

 normal year is not far from 400,000 

 bushels. The same authority, it is said, 

 puts this year's crop at 240,000 bushels. 

 This is 100,000 bushels less than last 

 year's crop and as no onion set section 

 claims an increase this year over its last 

 year's harvest, the situation is obvious. 



MICHIGAN BEAN PROSPECTS. 



Alfred J. Brown, Grand Rapids, Mich., 

 vjrites as follows under date of Septem- 

 ber 27: 



"We wish to correct you in your re- 

 ports of the bean crop. The weather 

 has been, and is still, most unfavorable, 

 and beans have been damaged to a very 

 large extent. This embraces all varieties. 

 The most damage, we fear, will be done 

 to the green-podded sorts, such as Val- 

 entines, Refugees, Mohawks and all late- 

 maturing varieties. It is true that some 

 crops of wax beans have been harvested, 

 but there will be a heavy shrinkage on 

 account of so much hand-picking, and, 

 besides, the beans do not seem to be 

 turning out in quantity anything like

what we expected. Taking the crop as a 

 whole, it is short and this fact will 

 be recognized a little later, when bean 

 growers begin to get in their crops and 

 hand-pick them." 



LONG ISLAND CABBAGE. 



The seed crops on Long Island have 

 all been harvested and, so far as cab- 

 bage was concerned, returns have been 

 rather better than anticipated, although 

 upon some varieties they have been short. 

 TTie demand for cabbage seed, particu- 

 larly in the south, has been much larger 



than for two or three years past and this 

 increased demand, more than any great 

 shortage in the crop itself, has led to a 

 short supply on quite a number of the 

 varieties. 



The spinach crop on Long Island was 

 not better than one-half crop and all of 

 the seed crops were shortened by the ex- 

 cessively dry summer.
