EXPORTS OF GRASS SEEDS. 



Vice-consul George B. Stephenson, of 

 Liverpool, in. reply to an American ex- 

 porter of grass and clover seeds, writes 

 concerning the British market as fol- 

 lows : ' ' The imports into the United 

 Kingdom of grass and clover seed from 

 the United States during the last five 

 years for which statistics are available 

 are as follows, in hundredweights (of 

 112 pounds each): 1904, 111,869; 1905, 

 101,101; 1906, 90,505; 1907, 88,204; 

 1908, 101,339. The bulk of the clover 

 seed finding an English market comes 

 from Chile, the quotation at the close 

 of 1909 for seed of that origin having 

 been about $17 a hundredweight. Firms 

 consulted state that the demand for 

 American clover and grass seed on the 

 Liverpool market is somewhat limited, 

 owing to the large amount used in the 

 United States and the high price given 

 there, which, as a rule, makes it imprac- 

 ticable for the seed to be shipped to 

 England, where it must compete with 

 sfieds grown where the home demand is 

 not so great and prices therefore lower. ' ' 



Consul George Heimrod, of Berne, in 

 answering an American inquiry, gives 

 the following information in reference 

 to imports of grass and-clover seed into 

 the republic: "Switzerland imported 

 grass and clover seed in 1908 to the ex- 

 tent of 2,273,000 pounds, from the fol- 

 lowing countries: Germany, 703,000; 

 France, 500,000; Italy, 412,000; Eng- 

 land, 395,000; Austria, 136,000; United 

 States, 116,000; Belgium, 10,000, and 

 Denmark, 1,000 pounds. The German 

 and French seed was valued at $17.50, 

 and that from the United States at $9.55 

 per hundred pounds. The statistics do 

 not give details as to what amount was 

 grass and what amount clover seed. There 

 is no customs duty on these articles. 

 Much of the seed imported from the 

 United States is timothy, as little Amer- 

 ican clover is used." 



POTATO BLACKING. 



The Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station is now mailing Bulletin 174, 

 which discusses a bacterial disease of the 

 stem and tuber of the potato that has 

 only recently been recognized in Amer- 

 ica. A similar disease, called black- 

 leg, has been known in Europe for some 

 time, and it is thought to have been in- 

 troduced into this country by means of 

 infected seed tubers. As yet blackleg 

 has not caused much damage in Maine 

 potato fields, but it is thought to be on 

 the increase. The chief danger from this 

 disease lies in the fact that it causes 

 much more serious losses in states farther 

 south, where Maine potatoes are largely 

 sold for seed purposes. If this trade is 

 to be held, growers and shippers of seed 

 potatoes should learn to recognize the 



AMNONIATED 



LAWN LINE 



Kills Weeds— Mokes Grass Grow 



Applied as a light top dressing to lawns, it kills all flat leaved weeds, such as 

 Dandelion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Gfaickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours, and 

 without other fertilizer produces a wondferful, luxuriant, rich green growth of lawn 

 grasses, which is distinctly noticeable 50 feet away. 



The use of Ammoniated Lawn Lime supersedes hand weeding of lawns, putting 

 greens, etc. It saves the grass from being pulled up and in many cases ruined. 

 Grasses take a new, vigorous growth, avoiding probable trouble in future.
