it this year as .ten per cent larger than 

 last year. The seed came up well and is 

 looking well, about as usual for the time 

 of the year on an average; the stand is 

 much better than last year. Some dam- 

 age was done by frost, but we think the 

 plant will overcome that all right. It is 

 a different story about white sets. We 

 do not think there is over one-half the 

 acreage this year that we had last year; 

 and last year was about half the average 

 acreage; so we do not believe the acre- 

 age planted to white here is over one- 

 quarter of the average of previous years. 

 I think the condition of what is planted 

 is good. We have heard some complaints, 

 but not as many as we usually hear. ' ' 



GERMAN SEED CROPS. 



The German seedsmen have had a good 

 selling season and not for several years 

 has there been so general a cleaning up 

 of stocks. Peas and beans were in not- 

 ably strong demand. Eadish is one of 

 the few items that did not clear as well 

 as expected. 



The winter was unusually severe and 

 long continued, lasting well along toward 

 the end of March. At Quedlinburg the 

 coldest weather found no snow on the 

 ground, while at Erfurt there was at all 

 times a blanket of snow. While the spring 

 work was later than usual in beginning, 

 the weather has continued favorable and 

 at the beginning of May operations were 

 not much behind and the growers view the 

 situation with general satisfaction. 



At Quedlinburg the principal cause of 

 trouble is the small area planted to root 

 crops, perennial and biennial flowers, 

 whUe the supply of stock seed was inade- 

 quate for planting all the peas for which 

 contracts were offered. Forget-me-not is 

 one of the items that wUl be practically 

 a failure. Flower seeds in general met 

 with so good a sale last season that the 

 annuals are being planted in anticipation 

 of another winter of large demand. 



A correspondent at Erfurt says the 

 outlook for the standing crops of vege- 

 tables for seed might be better, while the 

 winter appears to have hit some planta- 

 tions of perennial and biennial flowers 

 • rather hard. Myosotis, bellis and pansy 

 are patchy; digitalis is in a bad way. 

 Asters and phlox were planted under fa- 

 vorable conditions, which is a siurce of 

 satisfaction, for the sale for qjich has. 

 increased in large measure in tecent 

 years. 

 ■^' Aside from the winter damage, the see4, 

 .trade in Germany has every reason fiur 

 ' satisfaction with the state of affairs this 

 spring. D. Mann.
