the varieties which with the Tall Oat-grass compose the percentage 

 of "good" seeds, are indeed kinds of as great or even greater a 

 value than the Tall Oat-grass-itself, there is indeed nothing against 

 such lots of seed being sold under the name of that variety which 

 in appearance is by far the predominant-one, as has been the 

 habit from the very existance of the grass-seed trade. 



Therefore, to speak here as well as in the precedent cases of 

 ■"adulteration", which could easily be increased by many other 

 instances of equal force is, to deal with it gently, a misuse of 

 words !
