White Meadow-Gra/fs ; or, Suffolk Grafs. 
This is the quickeft grower of all the graffes, for 
it will come up, bloom, and ripen its feed in one

called Menfual; and as it will keep time with no 
other grafs, it is not worth fowing. Befides, it is al- 
ways leaving the ground bare in patches, (unlefs an 
Agroftis happens to be at hand to fill. its place with 
couch) yet, to do it juftice, it is a very fweet 
grafs, and generally liked. It grows by way-fides 
every where.
