Abstract/Description
-
This publication graphically portrays how the development of improved grazing land in Florida, through the planting of foreign grasses and clovers, has brought immense benefit to cattlemen and dairymen of the state of Florida. Native grasses that have been depended upon for more than two centuries provided seasonal grazing only, while introduced grasses afford exceptionally good pastures for as long as eight or nine month of the year.

With the introduction of the crisphead Iceberg type, perfected in California's Imperial Valley, which won immediate popularity, demand for the local product dropped from more than 3,000 carloads annually to less than 300. Nearly two decades of study, research and experiment were required to find a lettuce of the Iceberg type definitely adapted to commercial production in the State. The story of this outstanding agricultural achievement is aptly told here.
