  " 
  Since 
  Florida 
  is 
  apparently 
  the 
  region 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  best 
  adapted 
  to 
  this 
  

   species, 
  I 
  would 
  advise 
  growing 
  some 
  at 
  Miami 
  for 
  experimental 
  planting 
  by 
  the 
  

   Forest 
  Service 
  in 
  the 
  Florida 
  National 
  Forest. 
  Although 
  the 
  tree 
  is 
  widely 
  used 
  for 
  

   a 
  great 
  variety 
  of 
  purposes 
  in 
  Tasmania, 
  I 
  doubt 
  if 
  it 
  would 
  prove 
  superior 
  to 
  our 
  

   own 
  conifers 
  and 
  believe 
  that 
  the 
  chief 
  advantage 
  in 
  introducing 
  it 
  into 
  Florida 
  

   would 
  probably 
  be 
  to 
  furnish 
  a 
  comparatively 
  soft, 
  light 
  wood 
  for 
  local 
  use."

  A 
  variety 
  commonly 
  cultivated 
  in 
  northern 
  Germany 
  in 
  mixture 
  with 
  Vicia 
  villosa 
  for 
  

  

  green 
  forage

  It 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  favorite 
  grain 
  variety 
  in 
  East 
  and 
  West 
  Prussia. 
  

  

  It 
  can 
  be 
  seeded 
  any 
  time

  June 
  15 
  and 
  October

  It 
  is 
  an 
  especially 
  hardy 
  variety 
  adapted 
  to 
  a 
  wide 
  variety

  and 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  s 
  tooling 
  habit 
  less 
  seed 
  is 
  required 
  than 
  for 
  other 
  varieties 
  of 
  

  

  rye.

  should 
  prove 
  an 
  especially 
  valuable 
  forage 
  crop 
  throughout 
  the 
  sections 
  

  

  of 
  the 
  South 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  maintain 
  a 
  good 
  turf 
  for 
  pasture 
  or 
  meadow 
  on 
  

  

  account 
  of 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  vegetable 
  matter

  because 
  of 
  an 
  acid
