98 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



The grass had been cut in the first week in August. 



The 



hay sent on consisted in the main of blue joint grass, yet 

 contained, besides, a variety of other plants found in similar 

 localities, aajuncus, cyperus, etc. Its composition is similar 

 to that of several samples of hay obtained from the low 

 marsh meadows, sent on by the Rowley Farmers' Club. (See 

 First Annual Report, 1883, pp. 74 and 75.) 



II. BUNKER MEADOW HAY. 



[Sent on by the Secretary of the Essex County Agricultural Society.]
