Replying to Birnie's letter of 14 January 1863, which had enclosed $1 for a one-year subscription to "The Southern Cultivator." Says the best grass adapted to light high land soil is Bermuda grass. Says roots can be obtained in any quantity at the Hampton plantation near Columbia, South Carolina. Says clover and blue grass will grow pretty well also, but they must be made very rich with a compost of ashes, clay, stable manure, etc.
