Overview

Excerpt from Culture of the Grasses It is difficult to overestimate the importance to the farmer of a good selection and proper mixture of grass seeds for the various purposes of cultivation, for mowing, for soiling, for permanent pasturage, or for an alternate cr0p. Doubtless the varieties of seed usually sown in this State, consisting almost exclusively of Timothy and redtop, with a mixture of red clover, are among the best for our purposes, and their exclusive use is, in a measure, sanctioned by the experience and practice of our best farmers; yet, it would seem very strange indeed, if this vast family of plants, con sisting of thousands of Species and varieties, and occupying, as already intimated, nearly a sixth part of the whole vegs table kingdom, could furnish no more than two or three truly valuable species.
