154 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BULLETINS. 



Sheep's fescue and hard fescue grow \n tufts or bunches and will not pro- 

 duce a lawn of even appearance. The red or mammoth clover will also pro- 

 duce a coarse patchy lawn, and the former will die out in two or three years. 

 Italian rye grass will kill out the first winter. Hair grass is a weed substi- 

 tuted for crested dog's tail, which is a feeble grass of no value in this country.
