SEED SHORTAGES INEVITABI.E. 



"Few seedsmen," says the D. Lan- 

 dreth Seed Co. in a circular to its sales- 

 men, "even faintly imagine the short- 

 age which will prevail in the seed har- 

 vests of 1915 and 1916 of sorts usually 

 obtained from Europe, the shortages 

 being a consequence of the prolonga- 

 tion of the war. We have letters from 

 the largest seed firms in Europe that 

 'the next turnip seed harvest, July, 

 1915, will be insignificant, not only in 

 England but on the continent of Eu- 

 rope.' This shortage in turnips of crop 

 1915 will apply to a lesser extent to 

 all biennial seed crops, the plants of 

 which are now being eaten up by 

 starvin^f populations, and the shortage 

 also will apply to this spring's crops 

 of annuals, which, if raised, will also 

 be eaten up or not taken care of. 



"But looking further ahead, what as 

 to crop 1916? The shortage of 1915 

 will continue and grow worse; really 

 there may be a total failure of many 

 seeds of 1916, if the war continues over 

 July, 1915, for the biennial crops, in- 

 tended to produce seed in 1916, must be 

 planted in the summer of 1915 and car- 

 ried over the following winter to make 

 seed in 1916. We therefore say if the 

 war continues over July, and that it 

 will is obvious to everyone, there will 

 be a small acreage of biennial seeds 

 sown to produce seed harvest of 1916. 

 Notice this remark applies to such bien- 

 nials as beet, cabbage, carrot, parsnip, 

 parsley, brussels sprouts, endive, leek, 

 kale, etc. Consequently the prices of 

 stock in hand should increase at once. 



"Now, to go back to next crop 1915, 

 for example, as to annuals, such as rad- 

 ish, spinach and other items. These 

 must be sown this April or May, peri- 

 ods now here. Now, will they be sownt 

 Hardly. If sown, will they be taken 

 care of, harvested and threshed t Any- 

 one can prognosticate on this as well 

 as we, but our opinion is that the seed 

 for the spring sowing of annual seeds 

 for seed will not be planted, culti- 

 vated and harvested. Consequently
