The proportional value which the grass, at the 

 time of flowering, bears to that at the time the seed is 

 ripe, is as 6 to 8.

The proportional value which the grass at the 

 time of flowering bears to that of the latter-math, is as 

 6 to 8. The grass of the seed-crop, and that of the 

 latter-math, are of equal value. 



The downy hairs which cover the surface of the 

 leaves of this grass, when growing on poor light soils, 

 almost entirely disappear when it is cultivated on a 

 richer soil. It possesses several good qualities which re- 

 commend it to particular notice j it is hardy, early, and 

 more productive than many others which affect simi- 

 lar soils and situations. Its growth after being cropped 

 is tolerably rapid, although it does not attain to a great 

 length if left growing j like the Poafratensis it sends 

 forth flower stalks but once in a season, and it appears 

 well calculated for permanent (pasture on rich light 

 soils.
