Description

Excerpt from Bulletin No. 108<br/><br/>The table of yses shows however that it is still possible, if one will take pains enough and pay enough, to get quite clean seed of this gr of which over 60 per cent. Will germinate. A part of the trouble with the seed market is that while the best seed is naturally the most' expensive, cheap seed is always the most popular. The sample P represents seed for which there is absolutely no market in its pure state it is too good for the trade and is mixed again for sale with inferior and less expensive seed. It is Obvious however that as compared with sample A, sample P is by far the more economical. In the first place a pound of P will produce more than three times as many plants of orchard gr as A. Again A will seed the land with some rye gr which is quite inferior to orchard gr. And lastly the catch of gr from the A seed will probably be poor, and very likely so poor that the land will have to be re-seeded. In this case it may lie idle for six months or a year and confirm the owner in the idea that orchard gr is not worth a trial. To any one in the State desiring them, a few seeds each of Orchard gr, Perennial rye gr and Meadow Fescue' will be sent by the Station to aid in their identification.
