(6) This is nearly as tender as the preceding, and therefore not answer- 

 able for the middle or eastern States. The Avena elatior or tall oat-grass, 

 is, by mistake, called Peruvian and Andes grass in the County of Delaware, 

 near Philadelphia, and in part of the State of Delaware, where it is culti- 

 vated ; it is called meadow oats about Lancaster, Pennsylvania. 



(c) There is a variety of this that grows well on dry lands, which is 

 now cultivated near the Muskingum and in other parts of the United 

 States, and is likely to become of considerable importance.
