Bkans are not threshing out as well as 

 was expected and some of the varieties 

 will be far short of needs. 



One wholesaler says he would like 

 nothing better than to meet a few re- 

 sponsible buyers who hold the same ideas 

 of the values of small seeds as do the 

 directors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League. 



There seems to be quite a variation 

 in the percentages of pea deliveries being 

 made by representative growers. The 

 average buyer will perhaps remember 

 the one who gives the largest quantity, 

 and then again perhaps he won't. 



Chicago Visitors: Thos. Landrum, 

 representing C. C. Morse & Co., San 

 Francisco; J. W. Jung, of Eandolph, 

 Wis.; B. F. Brown, Fitchburg, Mass., 

 of bag filling machine fame; Alfred 

 Emerich, of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., 

 Paris. 



The trade generally believes that the 

 purchasers of what are termed farmers' 

 stocks of seed peas are well aware of 

 what they are bargaining for and that it 

 is their own fault if the resulting pro- 

 duction from such seed is not satis- 

 factory. 



A FAIRLY good crop of radish seed is 

 reported from the Michigan sections. 

 California is also said to have had good 

 crops. However, if there are any sur- 

 pluses of the turnip-shaped sorts from 

 either of the sections they will be needed 

 to make up the shortages of the varieties 

 in European sections. 



The question of the scarcity of vine 

 seeds is yet to be determined. There 

 seems to be no question as to the scarcity 

 of some varieties of cucumber and 

 squash, but as regards melons, it may 

 be different. There are some sources of 

 supply from which no definite reports 

 have come and until such time as they 

 do the true situation will be doubtful. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, will 

 move its market gardeners' store to 810 

 West Eandolph street shortly. The new 

 store will be one block west of the pres- 

 ent location. The enlarging of the west 

 market makes the move judicious, the 

 new location being directly in the center 

 of the market place. This firm has had 

 its main market gardeners' store in the 

 center of this market for twenty-five 

 years. 



At Chicago: Onion sets continue to 

 be in seasonable demand. The quantity 

 in storage is nearly equal to what it was 

 at this time last year and the shipments 

 out have not been so large. This shows 

 a clear gain over last year from the 

 standpoint of the holders. The unusually 

 warm condition of the weather has de- 

 layed the shipments, as the buyer has 

 asked that his cars be held back until 

 cooler weather. A moderately cool spell, 

 when it arrives, will tax the capacities of 

 the shippers, as then the buyers will all 

 want their sets pushed out at once. 

 There is every indication that the market 

 will remain steady and that later prices 

 will go up.
