IMFOBTS OF SEEDS. 



The official government figures of the 

 value of the imports of seeds of all 

 classes in the last five years are as 

 follows: 



Year. Value. 



1910 $14,693,776 



1909 5,958,019 



1908 6,371,470 



1907 6,404,776 



1906 5,388,043 



The almost tripling of the total for 



1910 as compared with 1909 is due to 

 the increase in the importation of flax- 

 seed, from $831,871 in 1909 to $8,548,- 

 837 in the following year. Five years 

 ago the government put all seeds under 

 two heads, flaxseed and * ' all other, ' '

 were made: -

THE SEASON IN QEBMANY. 



The German seed growers are having 

 no respite from the unfavorable weath- 

 er conditions which have hampered 

 their operations for so long a time. 

 In the Erfurt district the spring of 

 the present year has been one of the 

 driest on record, though several recent 

 seasons have been marked by a lack 

 of moisture. Planting has been prose- 

 cuted with difficulty because of the dry- 

 ness of the soil. On the whole, the 

 crops are generally backward, and the 

 prospect more mixed than usual at this 



W.&K.-The Sign of Quality 



Top notch quality in Bulbs and Roots is none 

 too good for you. To buy anything short of 

 the best is poor economy. 

 Our prices are based on highest quality only. 

 Catalogues are now ready.
