No opportunity is seen for American seedsman to soil any quan- tity of field or vegetable seeds to Hol- land for domestic use. The Dutch field seed dealers, however, anticipate an ac- tive trade with Germany soon after the peace treaty has been signed and it is probable that considerable quantities of American seeds will pass through Hol- land on their way to Germany. MARKET FOB AMEBICAN SEEDS. Scandinavian Wants. There is a great demand in Denmark, says Consul General William H. Hale, Copenhagen, Denmark, in the United States commerce reports, for the follow- ing American seed: Eed clover, alsike, timothy, white clover, Kentucky blue grass and other grass seeds. There is demand also for cocksfoot, Canadian blue grass, carrot, onion, parsley, cu- cumber, melon, beans and peas, beet, celery, chicory, leek and tomato seeds.

The commoner classes of seeds, such as cabbage, peas, radish, carrot, tim- othy, clover and several others, are of domestic cultivation in Norway, ac- cording to Consul General Marion Letcher, Christiania, Norway; but all other classes must be supplied from abroad.
