sums up the whole onion set situation 

 as follows: 



"Onion sets show about the same yield 

 in Louisville as last year. Chillicothe re- 

 ports eighty-five per cent of last year's 

 yield, and Chicago probably has more 

 onion sets than last year, but heavy sales 

 that have been made relieve the situa- 

 tion to such an extent that prices have 

 been advancing very rapidly. Prospects 

 seem good for a brisk, high winter and 

 spring market on sets." 



GRASS SEED REPORT. 



Gustav Schott, of Aschaffenburg, Ba- 

 varia, says that the greater part of the 

 new crop of natural grass seeds has now 

 been brought to market, having been har- 

 vested during fine weather and earlier 

 than usual. The yield on the whole has 

 not been satisfactory and proved disap- 

 pointing ou some kinds, which have not 

 seeded so well in consequence of the ear- 

 lier cold and rainy weather. 



"Of Cynosurus eristatus (crested dogs- 

 tail) the acreage is larger than last sea- 

 son and market returns show an average 

 in some districts, whereas in other parts 

 the crop is reported short. The harvest 

 has been secured in excellent condition. 

 No stocks were on hand from last season 

 anywhere, but still fine seed will be sell- 

 ing below last year's quotations. 



" Of Dactylis glomerata (cocksfoot) the 

 producing centers in Ne\* Zealand are 

 short of seed and the whole of the crop 

 has been absorbed by a heavy home de- 

 mand. There is practically none left for 

 export. During the mouth of June a few 

 small parcels were placed on the market 

 at high figures and as much as 98 shil- 

 lings per hundredweight were asked. In 

 the States the crop in the largest pro- 

 ducing districts is reported as a fairly 

 good one. The quality is excellent and 

 values followed the rising market already. 

 France is reporting an average crop. 



* ' Of Festuca duriuscula and ovina 

 (hard and sheep's fescue), contrary to 

 expectations that prevailed early in sum- 

 mer and which indicated a full average 

 crop at that time, the yield is disappoint- 

 ing. It is a certainty that less seed has 

 been harvested than last year. Stocks 

 being exhausted, markets were cleared 

 rapidly at advancing prices. Farmers' 

 lots are unclean this year, being deliv- 

 ered in an undressed state, full of weeds, 

 also clovers. Machining will turn out ex- 

 pensive, particularly for the medium and 

 fancy qualities." 



Of other items Alopecurus pratensis 

 (meadow foxtail), Avena elatior (tall oat 

 grass), Poa trivialis and P. pratensis 

 (meadow grass) are almost the only ones 

 on which average crops are reported.
