average crop is hoped for, though dam- 

 age by hail will make some varieties 

 short. Biennials have all seeded well, 

 and the warm weather is favoring the 

 ripening of the pansy pods. Most sorts 

 of perennials are yielding satisfactorily, 

 and so are the greenhouse plants as a 

 whole, though large-flowered cinerarias 

 have come out short, and a slight rise in 

 price is probable.

GERMAN GRASS SEED CROPS. 



It is too early yet to give a definite 

 report as to the qualities and prices of 

 this year's grass seeds and clovers, but 

 it might be of interest to know the 

 present state of things and we will give 

 you in the following some short infor- 

 mation. 



The South German agrostis is only 

 now being cut and tl)e weather is very 

 unf a^X)rable at present for the ' harvest- 

 ing. Lower prices than last year are 

 hardly to be expected. 



Aira flexuosa is an average crop. 

 Prices will be about tlie same as last 

 year. 



The reports about the crop of Alope- 

 curus pratensis are tavoralile; liowever, 

 the great loss in cleaning the seed will 

 cause high prices again. * 



Anthoxanthum odoratum is about the 

 same as last year, while Anthoxanthum 

 Puelii is not yet in. 



No definite reports from France are 

 to hand as to the crop of Avena clatior. 

 The crop in Germany was an average 

 one, but prices are not yet fixed. 



Some growing districts report a fair 

 crop of Cynosurus cristatus. while in 

 others the crop is still uncnt and un- 

 favorable weather will do ^reat damage 

 and cause high prices again. Old stocks 

 .•tre exhausted, which also ^vill influence 

 the market. 



There is almost no import of Dactylis 

 glomerata from Xew Zealand this year 



SOW NOW! 



CYCLAMEN OIOANTEUM— A splendid strain. Seed saved by a promi- 

 nent private grower. There is nothing finer. Per 100 seeds, $1.00; per

and there is littlp cliance of seeing re- 

 duced the high price of last winter for 

 this variety. 



The harvest of Festuca duriuscula and 

 Festuca ovina seems to be an average 

 one, tut the great demand for those va- 

 rieties and t]ie exhausted stocks h;»vo al- 

 ready caused an advance in price and 

 liigh prices for well cleaned seed are ex- 

 pected. 



A larger <inantity of Festuca ovina 

 leiniii'oiiji was uronalit in ami we have 



secured a good part of the best parcels. 

 Prices will be about the same as last 

 year, owing to the wild speculation of 

 some buyers of the rough seed. 



Festuca elatior (arundinacea) has 

 been harvested in smaller quantities than 

 last year. Prices are not yet settled. 



The quantities of Festuca heterophylla 

 and Festuca rubra are very limited 

 again an<l prices accordingly high. 



The smallest crop was yielded again 

 in Pon nemoralis and last year's hign
