KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS. 
Of the 429 samples of Kentucky bluegrass seed obtained, only 8 
were found to be free from any trace of Canada bluegrass. In most 
of these samples the trace of Canada bluegrass found was immature 
seed, showing that it was harvested with the Kentucky bluegrass 
seed. The seeds of the two plants not ripening at the same time, it 
is improbable that mature seed of Canada bluegrass would be har- 
vested with Kentucky bluegrass seed. In 110 samples, however, 
anada bluegrass seed was found in quantities exceeding 5 per cent, 
32 of these being Canada bluegrass seed misbranded as Kentucky 
bluegrass seed.
