ping to Texas amount to about 20 cents 

 a pound. Shipments of onion seed to 

 continental United States, invoiced at 

 the Teneriffe consulate in 1919, 

 amounted to 69,592 pounds, valued at 

 $74,245. 



MORE FSENCH BULBS. 



Following by three days the first 

 cargo of French bulbs, which came on 

 the Britannia, the second came into 

 New^ York August 2 on the steamer 

 Patria from Marseilles. This cargo, with 

 its 1,873 cases, was decidedly smaller 

 than the first one, of 5,651 cases, but 

 the total of 7,524 cases is only slightly 

 less than the corresponding total of 

 7,753 cases in the initial cargoes of the 

 Canada and Patria a year ago.

SEED CBOPS IN DENMABE. 



The early frost in the autumn of 1919 

 damaged the fields of "stecklinge," 

 and in spring many mangold "steck- 

 linge" were found spoiled in the pits. 

 On account of the low prices the grow- 

 ers were, moreover, unwilling to con- 

 tinue the cultivation of seeds, aa a con- 

 sequence of which not only the bad 

 fields, but here and there also fields in 

 good growth were plowed up last spring. 



The cool weather during the early 

 part of the summor had a favorable 

 influence on the development of the 

 cruciferous varieties, so that good crops 

 of swede, turnip and cabbage seeds are 

 generally expected. On the other hand, 

 mangolds do not promise well; many 

 plants have been injured by vermin, 

 and without the present stock on hand 

 the new crop will certainly be insuffi- 

 cient to meet the demand in the autumn. 

 With regard to carrots, the same is the 

 case; in the carrot varieties the largest 

 reductions have taken place, and it is 

 not possible to estimate what quanti- 

 ties of prime quality will be brought 

 into the market.
