Preeldent, Charlea N. Page, Des Moines, la.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Visited Chioaqo: Joseph L. Schilder, 

 of Schilder Bros., Chillieothe, 0. 



The Ohio Valley Seed Co., Evansville, 

 Ind., is building a warehouse 48x125. 



The weather has been too fine and 

 warm for rapid sales of bulbs for bed- 

 ding. 



The members of the firm of Moers 

 Bros., Houston, Tex., are Charles L. and 

 John S. Moers. 



A REPOET from Holland speaks of u 

 large overstock of spinach and an almost 

 absence of demand. 



The seedsmen in the southwest already 

 are getting busy on the new season. 

 Texas, for instance, is a state in which 

 seed selling never ceases. 



As time goes on the situation on 

 •sweet peas appears to get worse rather 

 than better. This appears to be one of 

 the cases in which the early reports were 

 not exaggerated. 



The officers of Eeiehardt & Schulte 

 Co., Houston, Tex., are: President, 

 Louis Bismarck Schulte; vice-president, 

 Mrs. Cora A. Eeiehardt; secretary, Ed- 

 ward H. Schulte; treasurer, H. F. 

 Eeiehardt. 



The Covington-Harrison Seed Co. has 

 been incorporated at Petersburg, Va., 

 with a capital stock of $1,500 to $5,000. 

 The officers of the company are: Presi- 

 dent, Peter W. Covington; vice-presi- 

 dent, George W. Harrison; secretary and 

 treasurer, Thomas Covington, Jr. 



ONION SETS. 



"The supply of onion sets for the 

 season of 1913 is approximately 750,- 

 000 bushels." 



It is the estimate of Joseph L. 

 Schilder, of Schilder Bros., whose head- 

 quarters are at Chillieothe, O., but 

 whose operations take in, to a greater 

 or less extent, all the onion set dis- 

 tricts. 



"After a rather thorough investiga- 

 tion of the situation," continued Mr. 

 Schilder, * ' I estimate the -crop of 1912 

 about as follows: 



District. ^"I'^Sl*; 



Chicago i$5'S2S 



Louisville 200,000 



Chillieothe 55'2S5 



Erie, Philadelphia, Nebraska 60,000 



Total 750,000 



"Of course the situation at Chicago 

 sets the market for sets. Beds are 

 short at Chicago; yellow is about the 

 usual supply, possibly 10,000 bushels 

 more than usual; but white are 30,000 

 to 40,000 bushels above last year's crop. 

 The market for white is weak. Prices 

 at present being paid growers for crops 

 not under contract are about as fol- 

 lows: Bed, 90 cents; yellow, 85 to 90 

 cents; white, $1 to $1.10. Some of the 

 large dealers seem to be willing to 

 lighten their loads by moving cars of 

 whites at about the same prices the 

 growers are receiving. 



"The future of the market is a little 

 more uncertain than usual, due to the 

 condition of the large supply of whites. 

 Weather conditions were unfavorable.
