 establish this in tlm United Stales, foi', according to the gardener of tlieOer- 

 man legation giouuds, it is tluMndy 'grass' in dry NoitIi('hina that keeps gicen 

 all smnnier notwithstanding droughts. It grows on the rockiest and |)oorest 

 of soils and never needs mowing. I consider it of the utmost importance,
