others comes word that there is hardly 

 any seed at all. The estimated deliveries 

 from the California growers do not help 

 matters, as the actual needs of the plant- 

 ers and middlemen were not arranged 

 for by half when the California people 

 booked contract orders last spring. A 

 great many of the dealers held off from 

 giving orders at the prices then asked 

 and as a consequence are now looking 

 for, or will be looking for, seed. Onion 

 seed of a quality that set sowers are 

 afraid of is being offered at reasonable 

 prices, but the dependable article does 

 not seem to be in evidence at anything 

 but prohibitive rates. The stock of seed 

 of the standard sorts for making the 

 marketable onion is exceedingly hard to 

 locate and wholesale seedsmen are reluc- 

 tant to book orders except at an open 

 price. It goes without saying that prices 

 will be about as high as the traflSc will 

 bear, but it is likely that after a while 

 prices will settle down to considerably 

 below the rates now talked of; still this 

 possibility affords little encouragement 

 to the man who cannot now put his hand 

 on a good round lot of a single variety 

 at a price that he can use it at.
