that after the second transplanting they 

 woukl run to seed. Tlic same is true 

 \vheii they are in the garden bed and not 

 transplanted. A second check, caused by 

 lain coming after a continued drought, 

 v>ill cause tiicm to run to seed. There is 

 no I'oanou wiiy licels will not come on all

ONION SEED IN ILLINOIS. 



Tiie jiublication in last week's llEViKW 

 of a lield of onions growing for seed at 

 the farm of the Jjivingston Seed Co., 

 (Jolumbus, O., has brought from II. W. 

 Buckbee, Rockford, 111., the photograph 

 reproduced on tins page and the comment 

 that Illinois, as well ;us Ohio, can show- 

 some first class iields of onion. The pho- 

 tograph was made August 2, and in the 

 original picture it was j)ossib]e to recog- 

 nize Mr. Buckbee himself inspecting his 

 l>rospective crop. 



The reports from all the section.s of th(> 

 middle west where there are fields of 

 onion growing for seed indicate tliat 

 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.
