Chicago, Louisville and CStilKcottie all 

 report short onion set crops. This should 

 tone things up. 



Keports from the Michigan growers 

 confirm the general opinion that the pres- 

 ent is not good bean weather. 



Louisville reports the onion set har- 

 vest about finished and the product the 

 smallest in quantity for several years. 



Babteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan., 

 report that they have never had such a 

 trade in seeds for late planting as now. 



Judging from reports to date, the 

 1911 pea crop will be short enough to 

 vouch for the efficiency of the most pessi- 

 mistic estimator. 



The early varieties of sweet corn are 

 reported short, with the chances for the 

 late sorts to do fairly well if seasonable 

 weather and rains prevail. 



The veteran grower remarks that it 

 should be borne in mind that the losers 

 in a short crop year are not they who 

 get the pro rata of delivery. 



If the onion set, with the chance it 

 has, does not redeem itself this season for 

 the misconduct of last year, its friends 

 will lose confidence in it completely. 



Alaska peas so far threshed are re- 

 ported as returning not more than three- 

 fold on the average. Crops of the popu- 

 lar early wrinkled sorts, naturally are 

 returning less. 



A. Sluis, son of Yoost Sluis, of Sluis 

 Bros., seed growers at Enkhuizen, Hol- 

 land, is visiting a brother who is in the 

 seed business at Chicago. In the course 

 of the next few weeks he will call on the 

 trade on his way back to New York. 



Wholesalers report turnip seed in 

 good demand during the last two weeks. 

 Other seasonable seeds have also been go- 

 ing out in good shape. Bains in sections 

 where the previous dry weather had «hut 

 things off have helped to put a little life 

 into the market. 



CUCOUMBER,. squash and other vine 

 seeds are differently reported from the 

 different sections. Conditions of weather 

 at one point make prospects bright, while 

 the outlook at another place just reverses 

 things. Later reports are needed to 

 give anything definite. 



The onion set harvest at Chicago is 

 well under way and the product is of 

 excellent quality, but the quantity that 

 comes from a given acreage is small, 

 compared with normal years. Some of 

 the growers are hoping that the unhar- 

 vested pieces will pan out stronger than 

 the pieces so far harvested, but there 

 seems little reason to base this hope on. 



Marius Kirkeby, of the Kirkeby & 

 Gundestrup Seed Co., Chicago, has retired 

 from active participation in the business 

 and is spending the summer in Europe. 

 He is expected to return in September 

 and it is rumored that he will then en- 

 gage in the commission business on South 

 Water street. Mr. Gundestrup is now fill- 

 ing the offices of both president and 

 treasurer and says that their onion set 

 crops will average up quite well, although
