Kendel, Secretary. Mlsbranded Seeds. United States Department of Agri- culture Circular No. 35, issued May 10, 1911, contains records of the year 1910 on misbranded samples of alfalfa, red clover, Kentucky blue grass, orchard grass and red top, together with the names of the seedsmen by whom they were offered for sale, representing something like 100 seed houses from whom these seeds were procured.

Of 371 samples of seed obtained as Kentucky blue grass 16 were found to be wholly or in part Canada blue grass. Of red top seed, 526 samples, 176 were found to contain timothy. The department conceded that these grasses grow to- gether and that the seed growers or farmers must be aware that the seed is mixed. M Herb's Novelties for 1911.
