This is one of the most common of the bents, 

 likewise the earliest ; in these respects it is superior 

 to all others of the same family, but inferior to several 

 of them in produce, and the quantity of nutritive mat- 

 ter it affords. As the species of this family are 

 generally rejected by the cultivator on account of the 

 lateness of their flowering ; and this circumstance, as 

 has already been observed, does not always imply a 

 proportional lateness of foliage, their comparative 

 merits in this respect may be better seen, by bringing 

 them into one view, as to the value of their early 

 foliage.
