THE DAinSH SEED INDUSTRY. 



Odense the Center. 



The Danish seed industry has its cen- 

 ter in the district of Odense where the 

 largest seed firm in Scandinavia has its 

 main offices, warehouses and gardens, 

 and where there is general interest 

 among the farmers in seed raising. The 

 dealers and seed growers there have been 

 trained through many years and under- 

 stand the importance of maintaining the 

 high standard of the various strains 

 known as Danish. The production of 

 these seeds requires patience, industry 

 and vigilance. The government helps 

 in stimulating interest, financing con- 

 trol, experimental stations and award- 

 ing certificates for superior strains. The 

 awards are published, and as the cer- 

 tified seed has, of course, a better chance 

 on the market, a healthy competition is 

 encouraged. 



Climate Well Suited for Seed Raising. 



When the above-mentioned firm was 

 first started in 1850, it was thought 

 that the climate was not especially well 

 suited for seed raising, but the reverse 

 has been proved. Excellent strains of 

 root crops, such as turnips, carrots and 

 sugar beets, have been produced. Dan- 

 ish cabbage seeds are now acknowledged 

 superior in a number of foreign coun- 

 tries, the head cabbage called Amager 

 being a particularly well-kjiown and es- 

 teemed strain. Cauliflower, Brussels 

 sprouts, parsnip, spinach and dill seed

 has been supplied. 



The dry summer of 1918 naturally had 

 its effect on the seed crop, especially 

 the grass seed. Root seed, however, 

 gave fairly satisfactory results. The 

 acreage devoted to grass and root seed 

 was considerably extended in 1918. How 

 interest in seed growing has increased 

 during the last ten years is shown by 

 the following figures, which give the 

 acreage of grass, root, vegetable and 

 flower seed on Fyen island for 1909, 1914, 

 1918 and 1919:"
