heavy quality were in demand and soon 

 disposed of. Festuca ovina angustifolia 

 was a better crop than last season, and 

 could be obtained from the growers at 

 lower prices. The weather has influ- 

 enced the quality, and many lots are of 

 dark color and light weight. Festuca 

 heterophylla and Festuca rubra of true 

 German origin were again a small crop, 

 and prices equal those of last season. 

 The yield of the New Zealand red fes- 

 cue has been small, and the few lots are 

 in firm hands. 



A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, say that 

 at the beginning reports of small crops 

 of Festuca duriuseula and Festuca ovina 

 were discredited by those who hoped 

 for a reduction of prices, which, how- 

 ever, has not come. There are no strong 

 offerings of seed, and it looks as if the 

 stocks were, indeed, not abundant. 

 There seems to be no hope for a reduc- 

 tion of prices and, on the contrary, 

 higher prices than last year are likely 

 to rule. Most of the seed is of good 

 color, but badly mixed with weeds, the 

 separating of which causes high prices 

 for fancy quality. The quantity of true 

 Rhenish Festuca elatior harvested was 

 larger than last year but the quality is 

 not so heavy; speculation has made it 

 necessary to pay a higher price for the 

 rough seed than last year, and, conse- 

 quently, prices for recleaned seed will 

 also be higher. Festuca ovina tenuifolia 

 yielded a better crop than last year; 

 the rain spoiled much seed, but there 

 are some bright lots. The crop of Fes- 

 tuca pratensis is estimated to be only 

 two-thirds that of last year, and as this 

 was only a small one, we cannot be sur- 

 prised to see exceedingly high prices; 

 old stocks are entirely sold out and the 

 new crop will soon be exhausted. The 

 yield of Festuca rubra is much smaller 

 than last year, but the quality of the 

 bulk is satisfactory, and this year's 

 imports show a surprisingly good ger- 

 mination. First-class rough seed com- 

 manded a high price. Festuca hetero- 

 phylla yielded a good crop. 



Gustav Schott, of Aschaffenburg, Ba- 

 varia, says of Festuca ovina and durius- 

 eula fine qualities are scarce and prices 

 will be somewhat higher than last year. 

 Festuca tenuifolia is available in fine 

 qualities at moderate price. Crops of 

 Festuca heterophylla and rubra again 

 look thin. Of Festuca pratensis the 

 yield is everywhere smaller than last 

 year, and it is doubtful whether it will 

 be possible to cover the requirements. 

 Prices therefore set in high. Those high 

 prices alBO influenced the market for 

 Festuca elatior, which, even though the 



crop turned out about an average, is 

 dearer than last year.
