THE AMERICAN FARMER. 



LIST OF GRASSES AND FORAGE PLANTS. 



THE following table, giving the list of grasses and forage plants, with their common 

 and botanical names, their time of blossoming, whether wild or cultivated, and their 

 place of growth, may be of interest as well as practical benefit to many farmers. In 

 giving the scientific names, the first word that occurs in parenthesis is the name of the grass; 

 the second, that of the species; as, for instance, in herds-grass (Phleum pratense), Phleum 

 is the generic name, pratense the specific. A genus often contains many species.
