1449. Canadensis, Beauv. 



This is a very valuable grass to the lake settlers (U. P.), rarely of many 

 acres in extent. It is cut and stacked in August, and in winter is hauled 

 home by sled or dog-train. It is said to be greedily eaten by the cattle 

 and to be as nourishing as herd's grass [?|. It grows shoulder-high, so 

 that even a small meadow furnishes a great store of hay— Whitney Cat., 

 in 1851.
