one season results, for it is probably 

 unequaled for producing a crop of feed 

 in early spring and gives a succession of 

 growths until fall, but is not perennial 

 and hence not adapted to permanent 

 pastures. According to reports from 

 Great Britain, this sort is in harvest and 

 a fair crop is expected; the color vpill 

 perhaps be a little darker than last 

 year. From France a good crop is re- 

 ported, and Conrad Appel, of Darm- 

 stadt, says samples already to hand shovr 

 satisfactory qualities. The seed will be 

 obtained at about the same prices as last 

 season. The harvest of Lolium perenne, 

 perennial ryegrass, is also late this year, 

 and most of the samples represent darker 

 qualities. Heavy lots of more than 

 twenty-six pounds bushel-weight will be 

 scarce this season and in strong demand. 

 Prices rule somewhat higher than in 

 1906. 



PEAS AND BEANS. 



S. M. Pease, president of the Cleve- 

 land Seed Co., Avon, N. Y., writes as 

 follows under date of September 25: 



"Our pea crop in Canada is showing 

 up fully fifty per cent short of an average 

 crop, so far as deliveries have been made. 

 As a rule the first deliveries are from 

 the best crops. We do not anticipate any 

 improvement as to average quantity. 

 Values of the leading sorts have nearly 

 doubled from early contract prices, es- 

 pecially of canners' sorts. 



"Beans in western New York must 

 necessarily make a light crop. The dry 

 weather when they were podding and 

 filling had a serious effect on them. It 

 is true no deliveries of the new crop 

 have been made yet, and we may possi- 

 bly be wrong in our judgment, but guess 

 not. Another thirty days will tell the 

 story. ' ' 



SOUTHERN SEED CROPS. 



After all the unfavorable reports of 

 this, most disappointing of seasons, it 

 is a pleasure to receive such a letter as 

 the following, dated September 25, writ- 

 ten by the Amzi Godden Seed Co., Bir- 

 mingham, Ala.: 



' ' It might be of interest to your read- 

 ers to know that we have the best crop 

 of cowpeas in the south we have had for 

 a number of years. The crop is not only 

 large, notwithstanding the high price of 

 seed last year, but owing to the favor- 

 able season for the maturity of the cow- 

 pea the quality will be much better than 

 usual, and of course prices will rule much 

 lower. 



"The crop of melon seed, which has 

 already been harvested, is only about an 

 average one. But the quality and ger-

"The crop of okra seed has not been 

 harvested as yet; but, unless we have a 

 very early frost, the crop will be a full 

 one and of good quality. But prices will 

 rule somewhat higher than last year, be- 

 cause of the fact that there are no seeds 

 carried over in the hands of the farm- 

 ers. ' '
