CHICAGO SEED CROPS. 



Toward the end of last week rain came 

 and tried to make up for lost time. It 

 found many of the market gardeners 

 and set growers unprepared for it. It 

 did some good and much harm. One- 

 half of the onion set crop had been har- 

 vested and field-stacked. The remaining 

 half will not come out dry and clean, 

 like those that were taken before the 

 rain came. Some lots that were more 

 than ready will need to be taken out at 

 once, to save them from making a second 

 growth. The extra labor made neces- 

 sary to re-dry the sets that were left 

 unstacked in the fields will add consid- 

 erably to the cost of producing the crop, 

 and is likely to stiffen up the price. 

 This, in addition to the fact that job- 

 bers from outside are trying to buy in 

 a part of the Chicago crop, muddles the 

 situation, and the growers who planted 

 on the speculative basis are wondering 

 if they will hit it. 



There is considerable guessing being 

 done as to the actual quantity of sets 

 that Chicago produces. Some guessers 

 who are known to be conservative, but 

 are probably not well posted, say 250,000 

 bushels. Others, who have added up the 

 totals that a number of the shippers 

 gave as the quantities they handled last 

 season, put it at 750,000 bushels. Well 

 posted guessers, also conservative, say 

 the high estimate is as far wrong as the 

 low estimate — so there you are. 



FRENCH BULBS. 



The main shipment of French bulbs 

 reached New York on the steamer Ma- 

 donna August 10 and comes in under the 

 new rates of duty. The consignees and

Practically everyone has made up his 

 mind to a shortage of peas and beans — 

 it now is only a question how great the 

 shortage will be. There probably will be 

 peas enough so all the home gardens will 

 be supplied, and the market gardens, too, 

 but the canners are taking a great deal 

 of interest in the situation. 



Stuart Low & Co., the English grow- 

 ers, say that although they have experi- 

 enced an abnormally wet and cold season, 

 cyclamen seed and schizanthus are aver- 

 age crops. The only novelty to report in 

 the cyclamen way is Salmon Pioneer, of 

 the crested tribe, a soft salmon not so 

 intense in color as Low 's Salmon King, 

 but a useful addition to the crested class.
