the last snow and as it melts it carries the seed down into the soft earth on a sloping place of course this might not be advisable where running water might carry seed away good grass seed usually comes in packages and it consists of a blend of several different grasses some of these germin ate quickly providing some color and also the necessary protection for the later more permanent sorts for
