pi CULTIVATED GRASSES. -4. 



The firfl two are the prineipal grafi/js fawn 

 in the regular courfe of hufbandry ; but gcnc-^ 

 rally with fome admixture of the third or 

 fourth fpecies ; the laft is fown only when a 

 perennial lay is intetided ; a thing which is 

 feldom attempted in this Diflrid. 



A new fpecies of ptodudlve nutritive grafs 

 would be very acceptable to the hulbandry of 

 Norfolk ; whofe lands, to ufe the provincial 

 phrafe, are " tired of clover *." 



If we confider the length of time which 

 clover has been fucceffively fown on the Nor-* 

 folk foil, this circumftance is not extraor- 

 dinary ; as it has likewlfe taken place in Dif- 

 trids where the cultivation of clover is a more 

 modern pradice than in Norfolk •, where it 

 has been cultivated time immemorial. 



A fmall inclofure near Ayleiliam is fliewn as 

 the firft piece of land which bore clover in 



*' white nonfuch." TrGfoil-fced fixed from the hull:, U 

 called '* hulled nonfuch." 



* I made a trial of rib-grafs {phntago Idnccolatus)^ but 

 gained no credit from the experiment : for although fh's 

 gr:ifs be fown in confiderable quantities iu fome parts of 

 the kingdom, it is in Norfolk conlidcrcd a- a weed : the 

 fact is, horfes do not affeft it ; and thefe are the princi- 

 pal confumera of the clover-crop, in this coUntiy.
