The proportional value which the grass at the

 time of flowering, is as 5 to 8.

The proportional value which the grass of the 

 latter-math bears to that of the crop at the time of 

 flowering, is as 2 to 8, and to that of the crop, at the 

 time the seed is ripe, is as 2 to 5. 



The general appearance of this grass is very simi- 

 lar to that of the Festuca duriuscula: it is, however, 

 specifically different, and inferior in many respects, 

 which will be manifest on comparing their several pro- 

 duce with each other ; but if it be compared with some 

 others, now under general cultivation, the result is 

 much in its favour, the soil which it affects being duly 

 attended to. The Anthoxanthum odoratum being taken 

 as an example, it appears, that
