least, at better prices than we got last 

 season. It is still too early to 8a,y what 

 the growers are going to do about onion 

 seed prices for next year. One large 

 grower has already come out with prices 

 that, to say the least, seem moderate. 

 Other growers have so far declined to 

 make prices. It probably all depends on 

 the crop of bulbs they believe they have 

 in f.ight. The one element in the situa- 

 tion that will tend to put prices up, if 

 nothing else will, is the labor problem. 

 This is becoming very serious, especially 

 so since the exclusion of the Japanese 

 that formerly came over from the 

 islands. Practically all the hand work 

 on the seed farms is done by Japanese 

 or by Chinese labor, and these people 

 Imve not been slow to see their oppor- 

 tunity in the present situation, with the 

 result that the price of labor has been 

 steadily going up, and bids fair to be 

 higher next year than it was this. 



' * Representing so large a part of the 

 expense of producing a seed crop, the 

 cost of the labor must inevitably affect the 

 price of seed. Of course, indirectly 

 this will have an effect on the quality, 

 as, no matter how hard a grower tries 

 to put out first-class seed, he cannot, 

 without a substantial increase in what 

 he gets for the seed, afford to put the 

 present high-priced labor on the rogu- 

 ing and selecting. If the dealers want 

 good seeds they can get them from al- 

 most any of the growers here, but not 

 at the prices that have prevailed in the 

 recent past. ' ' 



HEINEMANN'S NOVELTIES. 



The leading novelty in the list of F. 

 C. Heinemann, Erfurt, Germany, is the 

 Eros pansy. It is a large flower, of 

 deep, velvety brown, with a broad golden 

 yellow margin. The chief characteris- 

 tic of the variety is that, like the Freya 

 pansy, the back of each bloom has the 

 same broad margin as the front. Heine- 

 mann also has for this season three nefr 

 colors of his Emperor salpiglossis : 

 Faust, black; Purple-brown with Gold 

 and Lilac with Gold. The first of these 

 is without any marking and is something 

 entirely out of the ordinary. Last year 

 Heinemann introduced a Princess pink 

 (Dianthus laciniatus punctatus) with 

 ground colors of lighter shades, but this 

 year his offering is a variety of dark 

 purplish violet and blood red ground 

 color. Meteor is the name given to a
