beans, as far as foreign varieties are concerned, 

 have been restricted. Little ucreage has been 

 devoted to the Dutch sorts, covering the Dutch 

 requirements. B'or this reason and also on ac- 

 count of the dry weather, the crop will be small. 

 This condition also applies to i)ole beans. The 

 still expensive poles and the high wages make 

 the growers more or less reluctant to grow this 

 article. 



English beans — There w^e limited plantings 

 :Mid the stand is hardl.v satisfactory; here and 

 tliere it is even poor and attacked by lico. 



Beet — A small acreage shows an average 

 stand; some plantings have suffered from insects. 



Brussels sprouts and borecole — Generally 

 speaking, there is only a limited area. Tlie 

 stand is rather g(X>d. 



Cabbage and savo.v — Owing to the unfavor- 

 able circumstances, the acreage of white cab- 

 bage has decreased more and more. The stand, 

 in general, is good, altiiough some growers com- 

 plain of worms in the pods. The same can be 

 said of red cabbage, although the area devoted to 

 this variety is somewhat larger. The plantings 

 iif savoy are l)e]ow normal and limited; the pros- 

 |)ects of the crop are good. 



Carrot — Only tlie better varieties have been 

 planted and then only on a small scale. The 

 stand is satisfactory. 



Cauliflower — -There were limited plantings, jus- 

 tifying tlie expectations of a good crop. 



Celery — There were only small plantings. 

 Though tlie stand has been satisfactory until 

 now, we can only expect an average crop, owing 

 to the drj-ness which has been prevailing of late. 



Chervil — A small acreage shows a good crop. 



Chicory — The acreage is small. The stand, 

 however, is good. '^ 



0>rn8alad — There were small plantings of 

 Diitch cornsalad. The other varieties are almost 

 failing. The stand is poor. 



Caress — An average area sliows a good stand. 



Cucumber — Generally speaking, tliere are only 

 small plantings, especially of the foreign va- 

 rieties, of which only small patches have been 

 sown out. Up until now the stand seems satis- 

 factorj-. 



Kndive — It was planted on an exceptionally 

 small scnle. The stand, however, is good. 



I#ek — There were practically no plantings. 



I^ettuce — Almost no acreage was planted. 



Mangel-wurzel and sugar beet — .\ small acre- 

 "ge gives satisfactory stand, here and (here at- 

 'acked by the lice. 



Onion — There are stdhII plantings of the Dutch
