Are you working on the catalogue? 

 And what are prices going to bet These 

 are questions that all visiting seedsmen 

 ask while making the rounds of the trade. 

 An answer to the first does not interest 

 them so much as an answer to the second. 

 The first question is answered, however, 

 while the second, although discussed to 

 the limit, is not. 



Onion sets at Chicago are now stored 

 for winter, in most cases, and are in ex- 

 cellent keeping condition. There is a 

 tendency among some of the storers to 

 double up too much in order to save 

 warehouse space. This is unwise econ-

 crowded into a tray they heat easily and 

 cause a loss that soon eats up any gain 

 that might come from lessened expendi-

 trays unused are to be seen in the fields 

 of others. These are the fortunes and mis- 

 fortunes of onion set growing and, as has 

 been stated frequently in the Review, it 

 was the growers who had the most trays 

 and the largest warehouses who har- 

 vested the fewest onion sets from given
