ORCHARD GRASS {Dactylis glomerata) 

 Orchard grass is a stout perennial growing in fields and yards, and attaining a height of three feet. The 

 flowers occur in 3- and 4-flowered spikelets forming a dense, branching panicle. In early spring it affords 

 good pasturage. Flowers appear in June, the flowering stem growing out of a dense tuft of broad leaves.
