Production of Red Glover Seed in Holland. — ^In Holland we have three 

 districts for the production of red clover seed : Roosendaal tind surroiondiog 

 district (Province of North Brabant), districts of the Meuse (Province 

 of Limburg) and Groningen. The Roosendaal or Brabant clover is so 

 much in demand that practically all the seed remains in the country and 

 none is exported. On the other hand, much red clover seed went formerly 

 from the Meuse districts to Germany. Whilst the Roosendaal clover 

 comes from good sandy soil, the Meuse clover and that from Groningen is 

 produced on clay soil. Exact figures for the production of red clover seed, 

 which fluctuates considerably in different years, cannot be given. 



The samples, the results of examination of which form the basis for 

 the table given above, come from the Province of Groningen (3 of the year 

 1921), from the Mevise districts (6 of 1921) and from Roosendaal (6 of 

 1921, 8 of 1922 and 6 of 1923).
