:For several years Canada bluegrass has received considerable attention and has been the subject of more or less adverse comment from agriculturists in general. This has been due largely to the fact that the seed of Canada bluegrass has been used extensively as an adulterant of Kentucky bluegrass, in which role it is very undesirable. The malpractice in connection with its use as an adulterant of Kentucky bluegrass seed is doubtless responsible for the widespread unfavorable reputation which the grass now holds. This reputation has obtained to such an extent that the good qualities of the grass have been largely overlooked. When an example of a flagrant case of seed adulteration is called for, Canada bluegrass is always cited, and it has become generally known in this connection that its name is considered by many as almost synonymous with "weed" and "pest." That the grass has undesirable features must be admitted; nevertheless it is of more economic value in this country at the present time than many of our other cultivated grasses about which much has been said and written. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss Canada bluegrass from an agronomic standpoint, dealing primarily with its utilization and value as a forage grass."--Introduction (p.5).
