 Johanna Irven schedules her liabilities 

 at $4,995 and assets at $1,900. Hans 

 Irven has liabilities of $60 and no as- 

 sets. 



"After two wet seasons, we are this 

 year having the other extreme," says 

 Gustav Schott, the Bavarian grass seed 

 merchant, in a recent letter to the trade. 

 "All kinds of crops have been hastened 

 to maturity by the fine summer, but, as 

 was to be. expected, the drought has had 

 in many cases the eflfect of checking the 

 development while hastening to matu- 

 rity. The effect has been most felt in 

 America. ' ' 



Speaking of orchard grass, in a recent 

 report A. Le Coq, of Darmstadt, says: 

 "New Zealand has such a small crop of 

 Dactylis glomerata that they have little 

 or no seed for export. Our home crop 

 and the Danish seed, which as regards 

 quality and quantity are good, wUl be 

 mostly used to cover the home demand. 

 America had an average crop, but most 

 of the seed will be consumed by their own 

 farmers, in consequence of the small crops 

 of other grasses. Lower prices for this 

 grass are expected. ' '

GRASS SEEDS IN NEW ZEAI.AND. 



Under the heading, "Seed Trade in 

 New Zealand," the Daily Consular and 

 Trade Reports, issued by the U. S. 

 Department of Commerce and Labor, 

 publishes a long report from Vice-Con- 

 8ul General Henry D. Baker, on special 

 service in New Zealand. 



"The seed business of New Zealand 

 is of considerable importance," says 

 the report, "over $600,000 worth of 

 grass, clover, and other seeds being ex- 

 ported from the Dominion in 1910, and 

 about $500,000 imported. During the 

 next few months the New Zealand seed 

 market should possess an exceptional 

 interest for American seed growers and 

 dealers, as owing to the recent drought 

 seeds are now very scarce and are sell- 

 ing for prices about forty per cent 

 higher than a year ago.
