The Rofists' Review 



OCTOBBB 2, 1913. 



"Avena elatior has been affected by 

 heavy storms during time of maturity. 

 A. flavescens will be marketed at a 

 normal price. The same applies to 

 Bromus pratensis and B. mollis. B. 

 inermis will be a short again. 



"Dactylis glomerata did not turn 

 out so well as it was expected in Aus- 

 tralia and especially not in America. 

 On our side a crop of poor quality has 

 been harvested and prices have ad- 

 vanced to a point which I fancy is not 

 justified. Denmark has increased the 

 acreage again, and therefore will be 

 able to fill the market. Cleaning will 

 cost a little more, because of a larger 

 percentage of light seed. France also 

 will have nice lots of seed and Austria 

 will meet at least a part of its own 

 demand. 



"Festuca ovina has been in limited 

 demand. The seed is bright and of 

 good germination. Of F. tenuifolia a 

 good crop of fancy quality has been 

 saved. F. rubra and F. heterophylla 

 have yielded satisfactorily on our side. 

 Australia at first reported a record 

 crop, but later it was known that the 

 outturn would be far below the esti- 

 mates. Several shippers had difficulty 

 in filling contracts on hand, and prices 

 have advanced. America as our chief 

 supplier of F. pratensis has not yet put 

 any important quantity of new seed 

 on the market. It is said that the 

 yield is rather disappointing there, and 

 high prices are to be expected. Den- 

 mark has been able to strengthen the 

 price for its homegrown seed, which is 

 a fair crop but light in weight. F. 

 elatior is a good crop. 



"Of Poa pratensis the new crop in 

 America is a small one and of poor 

 quality, but sufficient yearling seed is 

 held over to fill the requirements and 

 to keep prices on a normal level. The 

 same applies to P. compressa. Of P. 

 trivialis enough seed will be available 

 and quality satisfactory. The increased 

 demand will count for the higher price 

 now prevailing for that variety. P. 

 nemoralis also is a good crop. 



"Of Phleum pratense the crop in 

 the United States will be materially 

 short of the quantity produced last 

 year. Old stocks are getting small and 

 the new crops expected by other coun- 

 tries will not affect prices. We will 

 see an advance before long. 



"The weather so far has been fa- 

 vorable for clovers and if it continues 

 we will have a larger quantity of good 

 homegrown seed at our command than 

 we had during the last years; how- 

 ever, it is yet too soon to form any 

 definite idea."
