The proportional value which the grass at the 

 time the seed is ripe, bears to that at the time of flower- 

 ing, is as 9 to 15.

The proportional value which the grass of the 

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

 as 5 to 15; and to that at the time the seed is ripe, as 

 5 to 9. 



This species is pretty generally cultivated in many 

 parts of this kingdom; and it appears from the above 

 details to be a valuable grass, though inferior to many 

 others.
