GRASSES. 



From the numerous species of grasses, we have succeeded in culti- 

 vating thirty-seven. By culture these have been greatly improved 

 from their native condition. 



1. Lucerne. Much valued for soiling stock. 



2. Sainfoin. Grows well on stony, dry soil, unfit for other plants. 

 Gives a ton of hay on waste lards. 



3. Burnet. Used chiefly for early sheep feed. 



4. Cichory. Called Wild Succory; superior to any other grass on 

 ;poor blowing, sandy, dry, soil. 



5. Sfurry Grows very late in the fall; suited also to dry, sandy 

 soil. 



6. Bush Vetch. Grows late in autumn, and is green all winter in 

 England. 



7. Tares. A sort of pea, sown early in the spring ; another, the 

 Winter Tare, sowed in September. The seeds are so much alike as 

 hardly to be distinguished. Must be kept separate. 



8. Everlasting Taie. Will grow twelve feet high; eagerly eaten 

 i)y cattle. 



9. Tufted Tare. Grows two to four feet high; good to restore 

 weak or starved cattle. 



10. Strange Vetch. Good for sheep. 



11. Clover. Common red top. 



12. Clover. Perennial or cow grass. 



13. Hop Clover. Grows naturally in England in dry meadows and 

 pastures.
