and remains green almost up to Deceml)er. Stock of all kinds eat it 

 greedily, and it forms a highly nutritious fodder either in the green 

 state or made into hay. Owing to the ease with whicli it is cut, and the 

 heavy yield, it is very useful for the latter purpose. It does well, and 

 spreads rapidly on old cultivated ground. Some care is necessary in 

 o-razing it to see that it is not eaten down too closely, as stock are so fond 

 of it that they eat the crowns right out, and consequentlv it dies out : it 

 is one of the best winter grasses. 



Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus inermis). 



Awnless Brome Grass {Bromtis inermis). — This hardy grass appears 

 to resist drought and frost equally well, and remains green practically 

 throughout the year. It tillers freely, and produces dense tufts of succu- 

 lent foliage. The flowering stems are produced in October; but here, 

 perhaps owing to the peculiar nature of the past season, no seed was 

 formed. It possesses a mass of iibrous roots, whicli, extending deep into 

 the soil, enable it to produce large (piantities of feed on even poor soil. 

 It is liked by all classes of stock.
