Notes. 

 Palm seeds are reported to be a very 

 scarce commodity in France and Great 

 Britain, 



is well known, Denmark has in recent 

 years attained a leading position in 

 the province of seed cultivation and 

 improvement, especially as regards all 

 varieties of cabbage and the cruciform 

 family of vegetables. The Danish 

 seeds have such conspicuous proper- 

 ties and qualities that the markets of 

 the world have long been open to 

 them and among the producers and ex 

 poi'ters best known and most highly 

 esteemed in this country is the house 

 of Hartmann, which for the past four 

 years has been efficiently represented 

 by Loechner it Co,, of New York City, 

 The firm of Hartmann was founded in 

 1894 and their export of cauliflower 

 seeds to America dates from the year 

 1899, Recently they have acquired in 

 addition to their previous large hold- 

 ings a tract of about 300 acres of land 

 near Copenhagen for the propagation 

 and cultivation of advanced strains of 

 their seed specialties. 



Axel Knudsen, of Minneapolis, 

 Minn,, American representative for 

 L, Daehnfeldt, Ltd., of Odense, Den- 

 mark, has received a cablegram from 

 his firm announcing that the Danish 

 Government has prohibited all export 

 of Mangel seed. This embargo will 

 prevent all deliveries of Mangels on 

 the 1916 contracts, Mr, Knudsen 

 saps that — of course, it is possible 

 that the embargo may be lifted again 

 this fall, in which case notice will 

 promptly be sent out, but with the 

 present outlook, the prospect of de- 

 livery is very remote. 



The Danish Export Review, for 

 August, 1916, devotes four pages to an 

 interesting description of Danish seed 

 cultivation as carried on by Hjalmar 

 Hartmann & Co., of Copenhagen, As
