Many of the pea fields are said to be 

 burning up. 



Onion seed is said to be scarce. What 

 develops next need surprise no one. 



The cucumber and vine seed crops of 

 the central section are reported in good 

 shape, considering the weather. 



A ROUND-sEKDED coru is asked for by 

 .1 correspondent in the east. The New 

 J-^ngland yellow flint is the best of this 

 class that we know of. 



The seed trade in general is feeling 

 the effect of the unusually, hot, dry 

 weather. Good general rains would put 

 more life into the demand for seasonable 

 seeds. 



Louisvii^LE reports a short crop of 

 onion sets. The harvest is started. The 

 sets are well matured, but the yield is 

 irmch below the average, and the acreage 

 is less than half of what it was last year. 



The first of the season's crop of lily 

 l>ulbs were landed from the boat that 

 reached Xew York, from Bermuda, July 

 .!, two cases consigned to Wells, Fargo 

 & (Jo., and four cases consigned to order. 



A REPORT from Holland states that a 

 good rain in the latter part of June has 

 relieved the drought conditions which had 

 prevailed for weeks in the seed growing 

 section. Hince then much planting and 

 replanting has been done. 



Beans are needing rain, according to 

 reports. This crop, however, seems to 

 stand hot, dry weather better than most 

 others, and it is too soon to say much 

 about it. If rain comes in time for the 

 setting period things will be all right. 



The estimate whirh appeared in The 

 Keview two weeks ago covering the Chi- 

 cago onion set crop needs to be revised 

 downward. The exceedingly hot weather 

 •ind lack of needed rain make present con- 

 ditions about as bad as they could be. 

 The sets are ripening up all right, and 

 the quality is likely to be all that could 

 be desired, but most of the fields will not 

 produce better than a three-fifths yield. 



The carrot seed crop of California is 

 reported to be decidedly short. This crop 

 has been quite short in Europe for the 

 last two seasons, and the reports from 

 there this year make it look as though 

 seeds of the jwpular market garden va- 

 lieties of carrot will not be sufficient to 

 meet requirements. The field sorts are 

 doing better, but the demand for these 

 stocks is not so large as for the garden 

 varieties. 



The market gardeners and truckers at 

 most of the principal points complain 

 :ibout the weather. No crop seems to be 

 up to expectations. The celery growers 

 find it hard to get the late settings estab- 

 lished and there is quite a scarcity of 

 plants. Tomato vines show a drying up 

 at the roots, which makes it look as 

 though this important crop will be light. 

 Onion crops in general are reported poor. 

 I.ate cabbage is suffering from heat and 

 <lrought and, on the whole, the outlook is 

 not bright.
