to 1 8 bushels per acre. The retail price of the seed 

 varies from 15 to 25 cents per pound. When sown 

 alone, 20 to 25 Ibs. of good seed per acre is sufficient. 

 In pasture mixtures, 3 to 6 Ibs. are usually sown. 



This grass is highly prized in New Zealand, where 

 it is known as " cocksfoot," as it is also in England. 

 This name is derived from the fancied resemblance of 

 the spreading seed head to a chicken's foot.
