 had no unseasonable weather up to this

 ahead of normal and very fine; no bliz-

ONION SETS AT CHICAGO. 



Eeferring to onion seed sown for sets 

 at Chicago, D. J. Tamminga, who is one 

 of the principal operators south of the 

 dty, had this to say of the effect of the 

 blizzard of April 23 and following days : 



"The onion seed for sets had all been 

 sown in this vicinity. Of the earliest 

 plantings they may have some setback 

 on account of the blizzard, but I believe 

 it will be slight. The acreage is about 

 the same as last year; possibly a little 

 lesB, on account of the unusually early 

 spring and the unprofitable and unsatis- 

 factory ending of the business on the 

 previous crop." 



FROST DAMAGE AT CHICAGO. 



Speaking of the damage by frost at 

 Chicago, the Leonard Seed Co. had this 

 to say April 25: 



"At this date, the extent of the dam- 

 age to early crops in the Chicago garden 

 district cannot be fully determined. In 

 most cases the gardeners are optimistic 

 and hope for the best. 



"It is generally conceded, however, 

 that the first planting of radishes is lost 

 and that carrots and beets that have 

 broken through the ground will stand a 

 poor chance of making a crop. Head let- 

 tuce, which has been transplanted to the 

 open ground from the hotbeds, will be 

 greatly damaged. Early cabbage and 

 cauliflower, similarly set out, will likely 

 stand the adverse condition, but the 

 serious check to the growth will lessen 

 the uniformity of the crop and cut it 

 down considerably. Onions and onion 

 sets will not be hurt to any extent. Peas 

 may pull through, but any beans that 

 were sprouted will perish. Early sweet 

 com and other half hardy vegetables, 

 where sufficiently advanced to be above 

 the ground, will not recover. Spinach, 

 which in some places was about ready 

 to be cut for market, is wilted and prac- 

 tically unsalable. This will entail con- 

 siderable loss, as many of the gardeners 

 have been depending upon this for early 

 money returns. ^ ^ 



"In the localities where the soil is 

 somewhat sandy and where early plant- 

 ing is the rule, the crops are much 

 farther advanced than in the cold clay 

 soil. It is a question whether this ad- 

 vanced condition will be of benefit. Some 

 of the gardeners seem to think that the 

 farther advanced the small vegetables 

 are, the greater the damage will be. On 

 the other hand, some of them are of the 

 opinloA that where the crops are the 

 farthest 'advanced, the damage vnJl be 

 less. Taken as a whole, the loss will be
