Mr. G. S. Ramsburg. 



Dear Sir: First of all we wish to 

 thank you for the Silver Pink Snap- 

 dragon seed we had from you last fall. 

 We had a fine lot of flowers which 

 were surprising to everyone that saw 

 them, and we intend to grow more of 

 them this year. Would you kindly 

 send us 3 pkts. same good quality &i 

 before, because every seed was grow- 

 ing? 



We are yours very truly, 



A. B. BlORKLrND & Co.

Dear Sir: We enclose check for 

 our order of Silver Pink Snap. Seed. 

 The flowers from the seed last year 

 were very beautiful, and if we can 

 do as well with them this year, shall 

 be well satisfied. 



Very truly yours, 



HARRY8BOURG GRKENHOUSES, 



Mrs. G. P. Hequembourg, Mgr.

steadily increased, with little variation, 

 from 115,316 kilos in 1901 to 1,030,400 

 kilos in 1912. Japan's imports have 

 grown from nothing in 1901, until now 

 they are larger than those from the 

 United States. Our own country seems 

 to be the only one from which the im- 

 ports have decreased. The increase in 

 exports was larger last year than any 

 previous year, as were the total exports 

 as well. The increase has been steady 

 in every case since 1901. 



GERMAN GRASS SEED CROPS. 



"It is still rather early to give a 

 definite report on the new crop of the 

 various natural grass seeds, ' ' said 

 Conrad Appel, of Darmstadt, Germany, 

 in a report dated August 16, "as the 

 changing weather conditions have re- 

 sulted in a delayed harvest of some 

 sorts. Long periods of rain in most of 

 the centers of production will certainly 

 produce variations in the color and 

 quality. Agrostis stolonifera, true 

 South German fioringrass, which is al- 

 ways in strong demand, is harvested in 

 September; the weather is favorable 

 for quality, but the quantity depends 

 on the temperature for the next three 

 weeks. Anthoxanthum odoratum had 

 a limited crop. Festuca duriuscula and 

 Festuca ovina came in partly under fa- 

 vorable conditions. Of Festuca ovina 

 angustifolia (tenuifolia) a good yield 

 can be reported, while Festuca elatior 

 produced a small crop and qualities 

 have suffered to some extent by the 

 rainy weather; bright qualities will be 

 in demand and the growers are expect- 

 ing high prices. Poa nemoralis has 

 suffered by frost in spring and yields 

 less than last year; some parcels are 

 injured by rain during the harvest. 

 Prices will vary according to quality. 



"Alopecurus pratensis is yielding 

 about the same quantity as last season, 

 according to the reports from the pro- 

 ducing countries, but the quality is 

 said to be less satisfactory. Dactylis 

 glomerata is a good average yield and
