 The weight of nutritive matter which is

 its value . . . . 212 11 



The proportional value which the grass, at the 

 time of flowering, bears to that at the time the 

 seed is ripe, is as 12 to 13; and the value of ihe 

 latter-math stands in proportion to that of the 

 crop at the time of flowering, as 5 to 12, and to 

 that of the crop taken at the time the seed is ripe, 

 as 5 to 13. 



This species of fescue greatly resembles the 

 rye-grass, in habit and place of growth; it has 

 excellencies which make it greatly superior to 

 that grass, for the purposes of either hay or per- 

 manent pasture. This species seems to improve 

 in produce in proportion to its age, which is direct- 

 ly the reverse of the Lolium perenne.

The produce of this species, and the nutritive 

 matter that it aflbrds, are equal to those of the 

 Festuca ovina at the time the seed is ripe: they 

 equally delight in dry soils. The greater bulk of 

 grass in proportion to the weight, with the com- 

 parative coarseness of the foliage, render the Poa 

 cristata inferior to the Festuca ovina.

This species is strictly annual; it is likewise sub- 

 ject to the rust; and the above being its whole pro- 

 duce for one year, it ranks as a very inferior grass.
