GRASS SEED REPORT. 



We are sorry to say that again we are 

 not in a position to report favorably as to 

 the crop of natural grass seeds. Early 

 in spring we had unfavorable weather, 

 but about the middle of May a change 

 took place, prospects brightened and 

 gave hope for a splendid crop. The 

 weather in the early summer, however, 

 brought much rain and cold again and 

 the development of seeds and later on 

 the ' ripening was badly influenced and 

 this accounts for the poor crop of some 

 varieties of which we will give you a 

 short description. 



The German crop of Agrostis stolonif- 

 era had much to suffer from the unfavor-

 and the quantity harvested will be small 

 and the quality poor. The great demand 

 for this variety has advanced prices dur- 

 ing the last few years and this year a 

 further advance will come. 



The quality of Aira flexuosa is good, 

 but the quantity is smaller than last 

 year and high prices will rule. The same 

 may be said of Aira caespitosa. 



The first reports on Alopecurus praten- 

 sis were favorable, but the opinion has 

 changed and the crop now is said to have 

 been overestimated and is smaller than 

 last year. The seeds show a large per-

 for the rough seed will be counterweighed 

 by the great loss in cleaning, which 

 hardly allows lower prices than last year 

 for well cleaned seed and might even 

 cause an advance. 



Anthoxanthum odoratum could not de-

 unfavorable weather and the yield is 

 again small. The quality is better than
