Sutton's Giant Evergreen Italian Ryegrass CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED. . [Extract from New Zealand Times.] I (To the Editor "On the Land"). gll? —ln your issme of fith inst., giving an account of the Feilding Show, yd report that Mr. A. L. Josephs, of Cliristchurch, pointed out that amonj the good work of Mr. Lowrie (late of Lincoln College) was his having drawn attention to the wonderful merits of Sutton's Devon Eaver ryegrass. There has, however, been some confusion of the two grasses—Sutton's Devon Eara perennial ryegrass and Sutton's Giant Evergreen Italian ryegrass. It Is Suttoni Giant Evergreen Italian ryegrass that is at Lincoln College. I spent a day with Mr. Lowrie in September, and he then told me what he told Mr. Joseph, and showed me the fields. I recognised the value of Sutton's Giant Italian years ago, and have grown it regularly, and can endorse what Mr. Lowrie said, that there is no grass in cultivation to compare with it. It grows all the winter and rushes away early in the spring, and stands more feeding and is better feeding than any grass I have seen, and on good land will stand for three or four years, and on river silt I have had it as many as ten years and is still good. Sutton s Devon Eaver or Devonshire Evergreen Ryegrass is a perennial, and as its name denotes, is green all the year round. The verdant hills of Devon are proverbial, and, being a native of that county. I made enquiries, and found that the grass lands there (that had not been ploughed in the memory of man) were composed chiefly of the Devon Eaver ot Eavergreen ryegrass (as the local people call it) and crested dogtail. It wrote to Messrs Sutton, and arranged with them to collect this special strain for me, and it has already got a name for itself in New Zealand. In Taranaki where there are a number of Devonshire people, it was taken up at once, and our'aeenf" Messrs E. Griffiths and Co., have splendid reports. In Southland also, where is well known, it is much prized for its perennial character and winter growth lam writing this in order to prevent mistakes being mode, and the cons*, quent disappointment—l am, etc., GEORGE TOTHILL.
