I want everyone that's in the market for Can- 

 taloupe seed to have a sample of my BURKELIi 

 GEM. It's one of the best shipping sorts. 86e 



My SHKEP HEAD Cantaloupe is new and 

 will become famous when its delicate flavor and 

 good shipping qualities are known. Has not 

 rusted so far. Try some. $1.00 per lb.

Onion seed of the dependable sort is 

 holding itself well up against the cheap 

 article. The buyer uses the cheap price 

 for a club, but his good judgment leads 

 him finally to the higher priced stock. 



Latest reports have it that onion sets 

 are advanced about 25 cents per bushel. 

 The holdings are now for the most part 

 in the hands of the final distributors and 

 it is easier to keep tab on the situation. 



Market garden trade promises to be 

 large. The market prices of vegetables 

 that are held from spring delivery are 

 reported to be advancing. The gardener 

 who realizes good prices for his stored 

 stock through the winter is usually will- 

 ing to give a good sized seed order. 



There seems to be some indecision as 

 to what prices should go into the retail 

 catalogues. The ' ' high class ' ' seedsmen, 

 who are no doubt in the large majority, 

 have to keep in mind the probable prices 

 of the other kind, and until necessity 

 compels, or a stiffening of backbone leads 

 them to go in regardless, they hold off 

 and wonder. 



Pkas are still in demand and the high 

 prices do not deter the buyer from plac- 

 ing orders. The deliveries are for the 

 most part made and the hopes of the 

 buyer that somehow or other he would 

 get more than the percentage at first 

 reported to him has ceased to be a factor. 

 He knows his shortage and is trying to 

 cover at as good terms as possible. 



The bean situation has cleared itself, 

 according to reports. Green podded sorts 

 are likely to stand at last year's prices, 

 with few exceptions. Some of the wax 

 podded sorts are reported scarce, but not 

 enough bo to make prices higher than last 

 year. Beans are likely to be in good de- 

 mand when planting time arrives. The 

 feeling that there would be an oversupply 

 is not as marked as it was and the short 

 placing of advance orders will make it 

 necessary to add beans to the usual fill-in , 

 orders.

The buyers of peas are not the only 

 ones who are compelled to take a short, 

 pro rata delivery. The shipments of seeds 

 of many kinds that are arriving from 

 foreign parts are in some instances cut 

 to an alarming extent. These short de- 

 liveries will be felt more as the season 

 advances and there is no way in which 

 they can be made up. It will probably
