 disappointing deliveries except from

 place their contracts on land which can

SEED TRADE IN GERMANY. 



The seed trade in Germany, referring 

 especially to the big seed growing dis- 

 tricts of Erfurt and QuedUnburg, is now 

 approaching the end of one of the most 

 exasperating seasons on record. The win- 

 ter throughout has been the mildest in 

 many years, and marked by the fall of 

 much moisture, dating back to the un- 

 favorable summer and autumn of last 

 year. Seldom have the processes of dry- 

 ing and cleaning the seed crops been so 

 difficult or 60 prolonged, and deliveries 

 in general this season were later than 

 ever before, occasioning much complaint 

 from oversea houses that were needing 

 their stocks. 



The large export houses cannot com- 

 plain of any dullness in business. The 

 general condition of short crops which 

 has been almost world-wide the last few 

 years has resulted in an exceptionally 

 heavy demand and in many lines the 

 supply has been inadequate, adding to 

 the troubles of the export houses. 



At Erfurt a special demand has been 

 experienced for peas of all kinds, prob- 

 ably due to crop failures in other dis- 

 tricts, and the sale of beet has been 

 quite satisfactory. The call for carrot, 

 radish, lettuce, celery and cucumber has 

 been above that of the average year. 

 There has been a fair call for cabbage, 

 and other brassicas have been in heavy 

 request. Onion has moved slowly. De- 

 liveries of leek were among the latest. 

 Almost the same conditions apply to the 

 QuedUnburg houses, where parsnip, pars- 

 ley and spinach are reported as not near- 

 ly covering the demand. Advances in 

 prices have in a measure served to piece 

 out the supply on some of the shortest 

 items. 



The German seed growers have noted 

 this season an increased demand for 

 flower seeds. The crop of aster waa 

 below normal and many lines were quick- 

 ly sold out. At Erfurt it is said that 

 gaillardias and portulacas are about the 

 only items on which better movement 

 might have been asked. At QuedUnburg
