The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBB 21, 1015. 



ditions the United States has received a 

 great part of its supply of winter rape 

 seed from the Netherlands, but that, 

 owing to the restrictions placed on the 

 export of this seed during the last year, 

 other sources of supply have been 

 sought. This has resulted in seed of 

 several types of plants being imported 

 under the name of rape from countries 

 not usually contributing to our supply. 

 Approximately 95,000 pounds of seed 

 of turnip rape, or enough to sow 

 19,000 acres, have been imported 

 since April 1, 1915. This so-called 

 turnip rape is not rape at all, but 

 a turnip without the thickened root 

 of the garden turnip, and is cultivated 

 for its oil-bearing seed. As the seed of 

 the turnip rape is being offered for 

 sale throughout the country at the pres- 

 ent time, under the name of winter 

 rape, or Dwarf Essex rape, those desir- 

 ing winter rape should be on their 

 guard. 



CLOVER AND ALFALFA. 



The government crop report makes 

 the condition of clover seed 66.9 per 

 cent, lower than the low figure of 68.3 

 reported October 1 last year, and much 

 below the estimate of 76.1 in 1913. The 

 condition is considerably poorer than 

 last year in the principal producing 

 states east of the Mississippi, being 

 particularly poor in Ohio, Indiana, Illi- 

 nois and Michigan, but much better 

 than last year in Missouri, Kansas, Ken- 

 tucky and Tennessee. The principal 

 cause given for low production is that 

 the constant rains, while beneficial to 

 the growth of the plant, tended to wash 

 out the blooms and prevented proper 

 fertilization through the visits of bees 

 and other insects. The western crop 

 is generally reported as good, except 

 in Washington, where dry weather 

 was harmful. 



The estimated yield per acre of al- 

 falfa seed is 3.4 bushels against 3.7 

 bushels last year and 4.2 bushels in 

 1913. The yield is reported as extreme- 

 ly low in Nebraska, and somewhat 

 lower than last year in the far western 

 states, except Colorado, Nevada and 

 Iowa. The reported total production of 

 alfalfa seed, 70.4 per cent, is also con- 

 siderably below last year's figure of 

 77.3 per cent, notwithstanding material 

 increases in the acreage of alfalfa, due 

 in part to the fact that considerable 

 alfalfa intended for seed was cut for 

 hay instead, in view of the heavy 

 growth of the plant and the poor yield 

 of seed. The estimated production is 

 much below the 1913 production of 89.4 

 per cent of a full crop. The same con- 

 ditions that lessened production of 

 clover seed were operative in the case 

 of alfalfa seed.
