Clifton Park System of Farming and Laying Down Land to Grass: A Guide to Landlords, Tenants and Land-Legislators (Classic Reprint)

First Edition of Agricultural Changes. I HAVE dedicated this book to my late really-tobe-lamented friend, Mr. Faunce De Laune of Sbarsted Court, Kent, because I, in common with a vast number of landowners and farmers, owe him a great deal of gratitude for having, in his article On Laying Down Land to Permanent Pasture, been the means of calling attention to the once deplorable condition of the British seed trade. This is sufficiently exemplified by a single quotation from the article alluded to, and in which Mr. De Laune says: I found that, however careful I was in my orders, and from whatever seed merchant I ordered my seed, the percentage of ryegrass, soft woolly grass, and other bad grasses and weeds, was beyond ttll belief. My Journal of Royal Agricultural Society of England. Part I., No. xxxv. 1882.
