[We have to acknowledge the receipt by mail of a parcel of seeds from Baron von Mueller for distribution. We have already distributed some of them among those whom we believe will take pains in rearing these choice seeds. Others anxious to give them a trial should make early application for them. The collection embraces the following : — Pennisetum typhoideum (an excellent fodder grass), Panicum maximum (the Guinea grass), Andropogon Sorgham (var. alba), Pennisetum longitylum,1 and Euchlaena luxurians (the Teosinte), a huge fodder grass.]
