quantities of special seeds now required 

 in these sections is beyond the wildest 

 imaginings of a half dozen years ago. 



MoNTGOMEEY Waed & Co., Chicago, 

 are at work on their third annual spec- 

 ial seed catalogue. 



Carrot seed will be scarce, from all 

 indications. The foreign growers are 

 cutting heavily on Danvers and other 

 standard sorts and last year 's crops were 

 pretty generally disposed of, so that 

 little carrot seeid is being carried. 



The Children's School Farm, a New 

 York institution organized for the pur- 

 pose of creating an interest in gardening 

 among school children, was awarded a 

 gold medal at the Jamestown exposition. 

 The seed used was supplied by J. M. 

 Thorburn & Co. 



The lithographed cover of the Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co. catalogue for 1908 shows 

 a prosperous looking farmer sowing 

 seeds on a globe and bears the inscrip- 

 tion, " Western Seeds to All the World." 

 Manager C. R. Root says they think it 

 the best thing they have yet had. 



ONION SEED. 



The onion seed situation has not 

 cleared any. It is the opinion of many 

 of those who want to buy that there is 

 plenty of seed stowed away somewhere 

 and that it will be offered at low6r 

 prices later on. What these prospective 

 purchasers base their idea that there is 

 plenty of seed on, is a conundrum, as 

 there seems to be no good reason for it. 

 It is a certainty that the flat sorts of 

 red and yellow are scarce and that the

onion-set growers will not find enough of 

 American grown seed to plant more than 

 half of the acreage they contemplate 

 sowing. It may be that there will be 

 enough foreign seed to make up the de- 

 ficiency, but even so the price is bound 

 to be higher than usual. As has been 

 stated frequently in this column, there 

 is no scarcity of the varieties that are 

 usually sown for the market onions, ex- 



cept the White Globe. It is the onion- 

 set producers who will find it hard to get 

 a supply of the seed that will be safe 

 for an onion-set crop.
