THK VKKV NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This Bald destroys weeds and other growth wherever applied, and its effect on 

 the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for" a year and thus saves a great 

 deal of time and labor, as no rutting, hoeing or hauling away of the weeds is 

 required. 



We manufacture the strongest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

taken precedence over some of. the 

 American seed. From a casual exami- 

 nation of a number of samples, it ap- 

 pears that the advantages of the Dan- 

 ish seed are entirely in appearance 

 and purity. In both weight and ger- 

 mination it seems that the American 

 seed averages fully as good as, or bet- 

 ter than, the Danish seed. If greater 

 care is taken by American exporters 

 in the preparation of orchard-grass 

 seed for export to remove the dock, 

 sorrel, and other impurities that are

often present, and by American grow- 

 ers to give more attention to keeping 

 the weed seed out of the crop, it is 

 thought that the American seed will 

 regain its former position with British 

 dealers and that there will even be an 

 increase over the former normal de- 

 mand. 



Meadow Fescue. The meadow fescue 

 produced in the United States before 

 the war was largely exported to Euro- 

 pean countries. During the war this 

 export was largely cut off and Ameri- 

 can production was curtailed because 

 of there being no large home demand. 

 The British dealers hope that some 

 meadow fescue will be offered by 

 American dealers in the near future. 



Kentucky Bluegrass. Dealers in- 

 terviewed were very much interested 

 in being able to obtain the higher 

 grades of Kentucky bluegrass, repre- 

 sented by stocks testing from 24 to 28 

 pounds per bushel. Most of the stocks 

 that have been offered them in the 

 past have been from 17 to 21 pounds, 

 but they are now becoming educated 

 to the better grades and do not like to 

 take the light-weight seed, or seed con- 

 taining a large percentage of chaff, the 

 reasons for which are quite apparent. 



Vegetable and Root-Crop Seeds 

 Sugak Beet. There is no root crop 

 in which the European countries are 

 so greatly interested at the present 

 time as the sugar beet. The great 

 source of supply of sugar-beet seed has 

 been Russia. This country and Ger- 

 many, before the war, exported large 

 quantities of sugar-beet seed to other 

 European countries and to the United 

 States. At the present time, England, 

 France, and Italy are all looking for 

 sugar-beet seed. They are all anxious 

 not only to regain their prewar pro- 

 duction of sugar beets but to increase 

 their production. The United States 

 is also very much interested in sources 

 of supply for sugar-beet seed and is 

 manifesting great interest in the Rus- 

 sian outlook. It appears that the three 

 European countries mentioned do not 

 have a sufficient supply of sugar-beet 

 seed for this season's requirements. 

 The United States is able to produce 

 about one-third of its requirements 

 and has enough seed on hand for this 



season's acreage and for a portion of 

 the acreage for 1920. Much of the seed 

 on hand in European countries and in 

 the United States at the present time 

 is of low germination because some of 

 it has been kept for several years. 



Turnip and Rutabaga. It is thought 

 that England will be able to supply 

 normal quantities of turnip and ruta- 

 baga seed. They have done everything 

 possible to encourage this industry in 

 order to maintain or increase normal 

 production of seed. It appears that 

 their stocks are adequate at the pres- 

 ent time, and all information that 

 could be gained as to acreage to be 

 put out this season indicated that nor- 

 mal export demands could easily be 

 taken care of. 



Vegetable Seed Growing in France. 

 From observation of the larger seed 

 growing areas visited, it appears that 

 the growers expect to place a normal 

 acreage of practically all vegetable- 

 seed crops this season, and it is also 

 apparent that some of the growers are 

 trying to increase their acreage in the 

 hope of there being a greatly increaged 

 demand. They recognize the efforts 

 that the United States has made to in- 

 crease vegetable-seed production and 

 are aware of the large surpluses of 

 certain seeds offered from the United 

 States. They seem to feel, however, 

 that there will be sufficient demand 

 for whatever they may produce.
