If the produce of this variety be compared with 

 that of the preceding one, it will be found less ; nor 

 does it seem to possess any superior excellence. The 

 superior nutritive power does not make up for the 

 deficiency of produce by 80 Ibs. of nutritive matter 

 per acre.

This is rather an early grass, though later than 

 any of the preceding species; its foliage is very fine.
