crop that comes with copious rains after 

 extended drought. It may be that imme- 

 diate rain will help these late plantings 

 in some cases, but the outlook is not en- 

 couraging. Here and there we get re- 

 ports that are optimistic, but in gen- 

 eral the opinion is that the onion set 

 crop at Chicago will be decidedly light. 

 There are more acres planted here than 

 ever before, but even at that the har- 

 vest will fall far short of last year. 



At Louisville and in other sections 

 the outlook is better, as there have been 

 more favorable conditions at critical 

 periods. Keports from these other sec- 

 tions, however, incline to the idea that 

 the product of the fields will be below 

 normal. 



CATALOGUE SEASON AGAIN. 



Once more the seedsman finds himself 

 confronted by the necessity of making 

 a start on that great and expensive 

 task, the general catalogue. Time was 

 that this work was left till autumn, but 

 experience has shown the wisdom of 

 an early start, and nowadays the large 

 houses get at the general catalogue as 

 soon as the bulb books are finished; at 

 least the general character of the book 

 is determined and photographs are 

 made for such new illustrations as are 

 needed. 



Probably there is no mail-order seeds- 

 man who would not like to cut down on 

 the cost of his catalogue, but instead 

 the cost keeps going up. The cost of

good printing has advanced appreciably 

 along with other costs of doing busi- 

 ness, but a still more important factor 

 is the demand for larger editions, larger 

 books, better cuts, better composition, 

 better paper and better press work. 

 Most of these things take time, and 

 they all enhance the cost of the book. 

 Most seedsmen are like our last Con- 

 gress; they plan economies and then 

 spend more money than ever. It's even 

 more diflBcult to go back than to go on.
