GRASS SEED CROPS. 



Under date of September 6 A. Le Coq 

 & Co., Darmstadt, Germany, issue their 

 annual report on grass seed crops, in 

 part as follows : 



We are sorry to say that it i.s not a pleas- 

 ant thing this season to report on grass seeds, 

 as in most cases one has to speak of high 

 prices and a poor yield. Although we were 

 already pretty certain that tlie crop would 

 not be a good one, any favorable expectations 

 were doomed to disappointment in many cases. 

 The seed is very (haffy and well cleaned sam- 

 ples are not to l)o had, unless at lilch prices. 

 The wages for collecting the seeds have gone 

 higher, too. and we think It will be Impossible 

 in the future, even if there is a good crop, to 

 get our home-growu seeds at the priced we used 

 to pay in former years. 



As regards the various species wo beg to 

 say that the prosnects for Agrostis stolonlfera. 

 South German, are not bad and one expects 

 a good crop as regards (piality as well as <iuan- 

 tlty; prices for recleaned seed will probably 

 rule just US high as in former years. 



Aira (ai'spltosa lias turned out to be a me- 



dium crop and prices will he somewhat higher. 

 Tlie same refers to .Vlra flexuosa. 



The crop of .Vlopecurus pratensis has been 

 giiod and judging from samples to hand the 

 (puility seems to be all right, but wild specu- 

 lation has brought the prices to an enormous 

 height. There are no old stocks in hand and 

 this and the Increased demand will send prices 

 to the extreme. 



For some years now we have had a small 

 cr<;p of .Anthoxantbum odoratum and this year 

 again we have to report a poor ylelil, but of 

 trood quality. Prices will be higher. 



Bromus Inermis, which is just now coming 

 In, seems to be of an average crop, but there 

 Is already a good demand for export trade, 

 which no doubt will intluence the prices. 



The crop of Dactylls gloniernta In New Zea- 

 land has been a third less than lust year, but 

 of goo<l <|uallty. We have also reports of a 

 sn\ill crop in .\merlca and the small cpiantity 

 saved In (Jerniany has suffert'd from the un- 

 iHvorable weather during the harvest. A fur- 

 ther advance seems likely. 



Farly in the seasou tlie reports on Festuca 

 ovinn and durluscnla were favorable and we 

 thouglit to get this seed at low prices. How- 

 ever, we found that the yield had been over- 

 estimated and the present prices are already
