a ftrong grafs from the time it begins to fpring 
for flower, it would gradually fupport the debi- 
_ lity of the other, and admit air and fun to the 
under-foliage, which would preferve an effentjal 
part thereof without injury to itfelf. As the 
Agrottis ftolonifera is a grafs which is fine bothin 
Jeaves and ftems, it would anfwer in mixture with, 
and qualify the coarfer Phleum. The Phleum 
pratenfe might alfo with propriety be cut when 
the Agroftis ftolonifera is in perfection, for I con- 
ceive it beft to cut the Phleum pratenfe before it 
gets in full perfection, as then it becomes hard 
and wiry. The Agroftis ftolonifera is a grafs that’ 
freely admits of, and will thrive in mixture with 
moft others. It would be a valuable grafs to cul- 
tivate in worn out bogs, or even bogs not ex- 
haufted, if the furface be firft fkinned and burnt, 
as it would fpeedily form a fod and become a 
defirable pafture. In Mr. J. T. Mackay’s catalogue 
of rare plants, there is a paragraph which men- 
tions the mode of culture, the utility, and pro- 
duce of this grafs in fome of the weftern parts of 
this ifland, which | think worthy of infertion, for 
the benefit of thofe who perhaps may have and 
wifh to reclaim fimilar grounds. § Samuel’
