TRIANDRIA DIGYNIA. 8G 
on way fides and on walls. This fpecies, like the 
former, is an anoual, but an earlier grafs. It is 
productive in leaves, ftems, and feed; and to 
obtain a good crop, annual fowing and broken 
ground is moft congenial to it. In the Botanic 
Gardens, in the farmer’s divifion, where a plot 
is allotted to this fpecies, it looks remarkably 
‘well, and is much earlier in its fpring than 
the former. This may be accounted for by its 
fhedding its feed early, which vegetates and be- 
comes {trong before the approach of winter. 
Were it the farmer’s defire to have a crop of hay 
off his ground the feafon in which he fows his 
red clover, and that he wifhed, when cutting his 
clover the enfuing year, to have a mixture of 
grafs, this fpecies I take to be very defirable for 
that purpofe, as it feeds early. And as the 
feed foon drops, (which is not the cafe with the 
Bromus fecalinus,) a fufficient quantity would fall 
to have the defired effe@. And from its being 
an early grafs, and fending up flowering ftems 
fucceffively, it might, at the option of the pro- 
prietor, be either cut in a fucculent or in a more 
advanced ftate. It would alfo be lefs dangerous 
for cattle to eat the clover when in mixture with
