GERMAN SEED CROPS, 



The German seed growing districts 

 have reported steadily throughout the 

 year weather conditions unfavorable to 

 their crops, and each mail has brought 

 advices more discouraging than the pre- 

 ceding. The result is that the harvest 

 finds short supply in most of the leading 

 crops, with a disposition on the part of 

 holders to realize the utmost values for 

 any unsold portions of their stock. 



At Quedlinburg it is said the season 

 was the worst ever known within the 

 memory of the oldest grower. The win- 

 ter caused serious damage, the spring 

 was abnormally cold, and then came 

 drought which lasted until September 11, 

 being broken by storms of such severity 

 as to work still further damage, many of 

 the late varieties that in normal years 

 would have been harvested being still in 

 the field. It is estimated that the average 

 yield has been not more than one-half 

 of the normal, and the growers face a 

 financial loss on the season. Cucumber, 

 chervil and corn salad turned out poorest 

 of all, but brassicas, carrots, lettuce and 

 turnips were exceedingly poor, and the 

 demand for peas and beans is far ahead 

 of the supply. Melon, pumpkin, onion, 

 parsnip and radish gave about half the 

 normal crop, spinach a little better. The 

 flower seed crop is equally poor, bien- 

 nials and perennials having been devas- 

 tated by the winter. Pansies and asters 

 both did better than was thought possible 

 in the middle of the season, but each is 

 a short crop. 



At Erfurt the season was hardly less

unfavorable than at Quedlinburg, but 

 cauliflower gave something like an aver- 

 age yield, other brassicas being short. 

 Parsley is poor and carrots varying. 

 Spinach, parsnips, beets and endive did 

 better than most crops. The lettuces and 

 radishes suffered through the wet har- 

 vest. In the flower seed department the 

 sorts which ripen early have given fair 

 results, but the late ripening sorts have 

 yielded poorly. Mignonette gave a fair 

 return, but phloxes are short. The single 

 dianthus varieties are good, while the 

 doubles have yielded poorly. Verbena, 

 being late, is an uncertain quantity, and 

 the same is true of nasturtium. The Ger- 

 man sweet peas are not up to the usual
