fair average crop is expected, the color 

 will perhaps be a little darker than 

 lai^t year. From France a gocd crop 

 is reported, and samples already to 

 hand show satisfactory qualities. The 

 Keed will be obtainable at about the 

 same prices as last season. 



The harvest of Lolium perenne (Per- 

 ennial Ryegrass) is also late this year, 

 and most of the samples represent 

 darker qi'.alities. Heavy lots of more 

 than 2G lbs. bushel-weight will be 

 scarce this season and in strong -Je- 

 mand. Prices rule somewhat higher 

 than in 1606. 



Phalaris arundlnacea (Reed-like 

 Canary Grass) is gathered this year in 

 very limited quantities only, and 

 higher prices had to be granted, so 

 that good quality will be in demand 

 and not obtainable cheaply. 



Phleuni pratense (Timothy). Will 

 bring a medium yield in Germany, the 

 weather of the next few weeks may in- 

 fluence the crop, which is still in. the 

 fields. 



Poa nemoralis (Wood Meadow 

 Grass) yielded much less than last fall. 

 The heavy demand has caused a steady 

 upward tendency of the prices for th^^ 

 raw seed, and at present the latter 

 show such figures as never before. By 

 my good relations with the most re- 

 liable sources I was able to obtain the 

 bigger part of the new crop and most 

 of the best lots. On account of the 

 high prices for the raw seed it is a 

 matter of course that really good well- 

 cleaned qualities will be offered at 

 much higher figures than last seasun. 



Poa trivialis (Rough Stalked 

 Meadow Grass). According to reports 

 from the North this sort yields a 

 shorter crop than last year, and it is 

 still too early to say anything definite 

 to the quality of the new seed, which 

 is not yet harvested. 



Clover Seeds, Trifolium pratense 

 (Red Clover). Regarding the new 

 crop in Germany and Austria, the sea- 

 son of the year is not far enough ad- 

 vanced to form at present an idea of 

 the outlook. 



Trifoiinm repens (White Clover) 

 added every year to the existing stocks 

 a larger or smaller crop, and this year, 

 too, a medium crop is expected so that 

 it is not necessary to hurry with cover- 

 ing the requirements. Of course par- 

 ticularly bright seed will be rare and 

 in strong demand at good prices, but 

 the stock of average qualities will be 

 quite sufficient for the wants and ob- 

 tainable at moderate figures. 



Trifolium hybridum (Alsike). Re- 

 garding our homegrown products it is 

 still too early to say anything definite. 



The trade in Trifolium incarnatum 

 (Crimson Clover) was this season very 

 precarious and unsatisfactory. Aus- 

 tria started with fair prices and good 

 qualities as compared with French of- 

 fers, which represent mostly discolored 

 qualities, and besides, at first high 

 prices were quoted for this sort. 

 France has yielded a good crop, but 

 having no sales prices went down
