Sutton's Giant Evergreen Italian Ryegrass CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED. . [Extract from New Zealand Times,] (To the Editor "On the Land"). glß,—ln your issue of flth inst., giving an account of the Feitaing Show, yo| teport that Mr. A. L. Josephs, of Christchurch, 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. Then lias, however, been some confusion of the two grasses—Sutton's Devon Eavet perennial ryegrass and Sutton's Giant Evergreen Italian ryegrass. It is SuttonS want Evergreen Italian ryegrass that is at Lincoln College. I spent a day wit! Mr, Lowrie jn 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 yean ago, and have grown it regularly, and can endorse what Mr. Lowrie said, thai re is no grass in cultivation to compare with it. It grows all the wintei and rushes away early i n the spring, and stands more feeding and is better feed mg than any grass I have seen, and on good land will stand for three or Ann years, and on river silt I have had it as many as ten years and is still good, button 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 bteen 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 wrott to Messrs Sutton, and arranged with them to collect this special strain for ma and it has already got a name for itself in New Zealand. In Taranaki whew there are a number of Devonshire people, it was taken up at once, and our'acente Messrs L. Griffiths and Co., have splendid reports. In Southland also, where is well known, it is much prized for its perennial character and winter growth. 1 am writing this in order to prevent mistakes being made, and the oons» qucnt disappointment.—l am, etc., GEORGE TOTHILL E.
