Holland and England. Germany and 

 some parts of France seem to have 

 suflfered even wqrse than England. Den- 

 mark, on the contrary, has not sufifered 

 so keenly. 



"The one redeeming fact is that 

 what few seeds are or will be harvested 

 are very good in quality. Sunshine is 

 very necessary for maturing seeds of 

 all kinds, and a good vintage year is 

 sure to be a good seed year, but in 

 the past summer there has been too 

 little rain for the vines and for the 

 seeds. The drought commenced in 

 March, and the plants had but little 

 time to get fairly established and well 

 rooted before the struggle commenced. 

 Still, some plants were able to live and 

 produce very good seeds, although some- 

 what smaller than usual. 



"The season has not only been a 

 disastrous one for this season's seed- 

 producing plants, but the outlook for 

 next season is extremely bad so far 

 as biennials and perennials are con- 

 cerned, growers being unable either to 

 get the seed to germinate owing to 

 the drought, or to plant out what they 

 managed to grow from seed, owing to 

 the dry state of the land. 



"The harvest of seeds has been par- 

 ticularly early, as crops have been hur- 

 ried by the heat. In consequence, 

 seedsmen are realizing the shortages 

 of their crops some weeks sooner this 

 year than is usual." 



IMPORTS OF SEEDS. 



The Bureau of Statistics of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture tabulates

Sugar beet 668.312 



Other seeds 3,172,983
