that after the second transplanting they 

 would run to seed. The same is true 

 when they are in the garden bed and not 

 transplanted. A second check, caused by 

 rain coming after a continued drought, 

 will cause them to run to seed. There is 

 no reason why beets will not come on all 

 right and make a big bulb when trans- 

 planted once at any point, whether in 

 Washington or in any other part of the 

 country where the climate gives a fairly 

 uniform growing season. J. M. C. 



ONION SEED IN ILLINOIS. 



The publication in last week's Review 

 of a field of onions growing for seed at 

 the farm of the Livingston Seed Co., 

 Columbus, O., has brought from H. W. 

 Buckbee, Rockford, 111., the photograph 

 reprodticed on this page and the comment 

 that Illinois, as well as Ohio, can show 

 some first-class fields of onion. The pho- 

 tograph was made August 2, and in the 

 original picture it was possible to recog- 

 nize Mr. Buckbee himself inspecting his 

 prospective crop. 



The reports from all the sections of the 

 middle west where there are fields of 

 onion growing for seed indicate that 

 there is little blight, and with favorable 

 weather from now to harvest a good yield 

 of seed is to be expected. In none of 

 these central western sections is the 

 acreage large, two or three acres here 

 and five or ten acres there, but in the 

 aggregate a good crop will mean a con- 

 siderable addition to the supply of onion 

 seed for 1910. 



SWEET PEAS. 



W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, was 

 not only a visitor at the big sweet pea 

 show in London, July 23, but an exhibitor 

 of flowers grown from his stocks over

 a collection which contained fine bunches
