possible on the result of the grass seed 

 crop and the market situation, on the 

 other hand it is difficult to give a correct 

 report on the situation, although this 

 year we had an early harvest of many 

 sorts, especially of the home-grown va- 

 rieties. The temperature in spring was 

 generally favorable for the development 

 of the grasses and later on the heat in 

 June and July has caused the seeds to 

 ripen well; moreover, the few rains in 

 summer have favored the growth, so 

 that these conditions resulted in a quan- 

 titatively rich crop of excellent quality 

 of nearly all sorts, with few exceptions. ' ' 



GusTAV SCHOTT, AschafPenburg, Ba- 

 varia, says "the season to September 1 

 had been nothing to boast of, except 

 across the Atlantic, where large crops 

 were brought in under favorable condi- 

 tions. We shared with our neighbors a 

 particularly dry and bracing April and 

 May, during which growth was slow. 

 Then came a dripping June. All through 

 July, while we had a goodly proportion 

 of warm, dry days, Germany was deluged 

 with rain and swept by cold winds. 

 August has been on the cold, damp side 

 J, and already a strong autumn snap is 

 noticeable in the air, which reminds the 

 seedsman to get his sample collection 

 ready for, let us hope, an advantageous 

 trading both for buyers and sellers."

"Come down to the ranch and see the 

 asters, ' ' was the invitation given by 

 John Bodger, Jr., over the phone re- 

 cently. By "the ranch" was meant 

 the 45P acres at Dominguez devoted to 

 seed 'jjrowing by the John Bodger & 

 Sons Co., of Los Angeles. This has 

 nothing to do with the home ranch of 

 350 acres at Gardena, owned by the

 of sweet peas for seed. 



Over forty acres are devoted to 

 asters, which at the time of my visit 

 were at their best, making a magnifi- 

 cent sighfc .The beds, or, as they may 

 more fitly be called, fields, of each va- 

 riety are separated from each other by 

 hedges of Celosia pyramidalis, the 

 bright crimson and scarlet forms, and 

 the effect of these long lanes of bril- 

 liant color was striking. And' here 

 I should like to advise anyone visiting 

 thip place to do so, if possible, in com- 

 pany with the members of the firm, 

 as I did. John Bodger, St., John, Jr., 

 and Walter are all full of aster lore, 

 full of enthusiasm for their business 

 and most interesting guides on an 

 occasion of this kind.
