any scarcity develops, it probably can 

 be overcome by importing some of the 

 large stocks in France and Holland. 



Holland Has Specialties. 



As is widely known, Holland is one 

 of the chief vegetable seed producing 

 countries, particularly of cabbage, cauli- 

 flower, turnip, spinach and kale seed. 

 It is expected that importations from 

 Holland, as soon as normal trade rela- 

 tions are reestablished, will replenish 

 the stocks of those varieties of cabbage 

 and cauliflower that have been reported 

 as low in the United States. In North 

 Holland the cost of producing seed has 

 increased at least 100 per cent during 

 the war, chiefly because of higher 

 wages. Therefore, vegetable seed prices 

 are expected to remain higher than they 

 were in 1914. 



The only vegetable seed that Holland 

 imports extensively from the United 

 States is lettuce seed. England, France 

 and other European countries also buy 

 lettuce seed from the United States, be- 

 cause it is grown cheaper and sells for 

 less in California than in Europe. Be- 

 fore the war, Holland imported large

quantities of American field seeds, most 

 of which, however, were merely in tran- 

 sit to other countries, chiefly Germany. 



American Products Unpopular. 



As a rule, American field seeds are 

 not used in Holland, because most of 

 the hay of that country consists of rye 

 grass and red clover. The Dutch farm- 

 ers do not like the American strain 

 of red clover, because the plants are 

 hairy. The best European strains of 

 red clover are smooth and produce much 

 better hay. On this account, about the 

 only use the Dutch farmers make of 

 American red clover seed is as a green 

 manuring crop, which they use probably 

 as extensively as any other country. 

 The recent price of red clover seed in 

 Holland has been at least 300 per cent 

 more than prevailing prices during 1914. 



During the war the Dutch govern- 

 ment exercised strict control over the 

 exportation of seed and temporarily

suspended exports. The government re- 

 quired that each seedsman furnish fre- 

 quent statements concerning the seed 

 he had on hand. In this way an ac- 

 curate account was kept of the seed 

 needed for domestic purposes and ex- 

 port permits were granted only when a 

 surplus was available. 



Dutch See Opportunity. 



According to figures furnished by the 

 commercial attache of the American 

 legation at The Hague, there were no 

 exports from and no imports of seeds 

 into the Netherlands during 1916, 1917
