E. E. STEWUHT, "'VKwii?^""'- 



last year and prices are a little higher. 

 Anthoxanthum Puelii promises a small 

 crop only, and much higher prices than 

 last year have to be paid. 



Some districts had a poor crop of 

 Avena elatior, while in others the harvest 

 turned out to be better and if one speaks 

 of an average crop of good quality it 

 will be the most likely. 



The crop of Bromus inermis s&ems to 

 be better than last year's. Quality arid 

 quantity are satisfactory and prices will 

 see a reduction. 



Home trade has used the small quan- 

 tity of Dactylis glomerata which was 

 harvested this year in New Zealand; 

 there was almost no seed for export. The 

 crop in Germany and Austria was bought 

 up at high prices and, considering good 

 qualities, there will be no chance of get- 

 ting Dactylis glomerata at a low price 

 this season. 



The reports on the crop of Cynosurus 

 cristatus are various. In some districts 

 the harvest is good, while others speak 

 of a poor crop. As there are no stocks 

 of old seed, pretty high prices were asked 

 for the new crop, but it is difficult to say 

 whether there will be an advance or a 

 decline of prices. 



Those who reported the crop of Fes- 

 tuca duriuscula and Festuca ovina as 

 being not favorable were right. It proves 

 that the cold weather in April and hail- 

 storms in May did much damage during 

 the flowering of the grass and the con- 

 tinuous rain favored the growth of clo- 

 vers and weeds among the grass, which 

 was unfit for seed saving and had to be 

 cut for hay. The seed requires much 

 cleaning and this brings a great loss. 

 The germination is satisfactory. There 

 is every reason that prices will go higher 

 still and will reach a point which we 

 have not seen for this species for many 

 years. Nearly all seed is out of the 

 hands of the farmers now and there is 

 not much of old seed carried over. 



A better crop than last year of Fes- 

 tuca ovina tenuifolia will hardly be 

 enough to answer for the great demand. 

 Lower prices, than last year were ex- 

 pected, but speculation has brought them 

 to about the same figure as before and 

 recleaned seed demands the same high 

 price again. 



The yield of Festuca heterophylla is 

 about equal to last year's and about the 

 same prices will rule for recleaned seed. 

 Although the crop of Festuca rubra is 

 somewhat larger than last season, it is 

 still not sufficient for the demand and 

 good qualities will be as scarce as ever. 



Our home crop of Phalaris arundinacea 

 was almost nothing, while other districts 

 had an average crop, for which, however, 

 high prices had to be paid. The quality 

 is good. 



There is a somewhat larger crop yield 

 of Poa memoralis, and of satisfactory 

 quality, but we shall see high prices for 

 this article, as a wild speculation has 

 brought the prices for this seed to an 

 extreme height. 



The crop of Poa trivialis is said to be 

 a good one, both as to quality and quan- 

 tity, while the color is said to be a shade 

 darker than usual. 



It is too early yet to say anything def- 

 inite as regards the new crop of clover 

 seeds, etc., but red clover promises a good 

 crop and we hope to see normal prices 

 once again. Alfalfa, which showed signs 

 of a good crop, is now said to be less 

 favorable. Trefoil is short everywhere. 

 On Trefolium hybridum, reports from 

 Canada are not favorable, while Germany 

 had a better crop and somewhat lower
