The bean situation in most cases shows 

 ^ough stock in sight to meet the de- 

 mands, but not in any overabundance in 

 any case. 



Last year's prices will be about right 

 for the coming year's retail catalogues, 

 judging from the prices in the books 

 already out. 



The business so long conducted at 

 Santa Clara, Cal., by J. M. Kimberlin 

 & Co. is now being carried on by C. E. 

 Kimberlin and L. M. Kimberlin, under 

 the name of the Kimberlin Seed Co. 



Reports have it that there is no short- 

 age of the newer varieties of muskmelon 

 seed. Such varieties as Burrell '■ Gem, 

 Hoodoo and others of the salmon fleshed 

 novelties seem more plentiful than the 

 old-fashioned, standard sorts. 



The California seed growers are east- 

 ward bound. L. W. Wheeler, of Braslan 

 Seed Growers' Co., Santa Clara, was at 

 Chicago December 2 and L. C. Routzahn, 

 of Arroyo Grande, was reported at Phila- 

 delphia accompanied by Mrs. Routzahn. 

 Others are en route. 



Thebe seems to be some indecision in 

 the minds of seedsmen and others who 

 have what is called set onion seed, as to 

 the actual value of this commodity and 

 how much of a price they can get for it. 

 In some cases reports have it that seed 

 is being offered at less than cost. 



The varieties of onion seed that are 

 sown for a market crop seem to be more 

 plentiful than usual, but the varieties 

 that are sown for sets are scarcer than 

 for some years past; this refers to de- 

 pendable stock, of course, for there seems 

 to be quite a lot of mongrel seed in evi- 

 dence. 



Onion sets are reported to be keeping 

 well. There is little movement of this 

 article at present. Fall shipments are 

 over with and it will be well into Jan- 

 uary before tte stock needed for regular 

 planting at the south moves out. It is 

 expected that when the stock reserved 

 for this purpose moves and is disposed 

 of finally by being planted, there will be 

 a sharp advance in the price and that 

 then the supposed shortage will make 

 itself felt.

Sweet corn is not occasioning worry. 



The canners are beginning to take 

 stock of the situation — and the more 

 they think of the peas the less they 

 like it. 



Open weather has caused the market 

 on bouquet green and holly to weaken 

 from day to day. The quality of the 

 holly is exceptionally good.

 to a seven-story building at Fifth and 

 Lock streets, where he has side track 

 facilities and much larger capacity in
