Setaria Germanica, Beauv. — German Millet, Hungarian-grass, 

 Bristly Fox-tail. 

 This is regarded by botanists as only a variety of the Italian 

 Millet (Setaria Italica), and is only found here in cultivation or 

 perhaps springing up from seed on land where cultivated the 

 season previous. The German differs from the Italian Millet in 

 having a more dense or compact and usually erect panicle or 

 "head." 



Setaria glauca, Beauv. — Fox-tail, Yellow Fox-tail, Bottle-grass, 



Puss-grass, Pigeon-grass, Summer-grass. 



This is a well-known weed, growing everywhere in cultivated 



grounds. It sends up a number of stems from a single root, each 



bearing a cylindrical panicle or "head," the bristles of which 



have a decided yellowish hue. 



Setaria Italica, Kunth. — Italian Millet, Bengal grass. Cat-tail 

 Millet, Golden Millet, Missouri Millet, etc. 

 This exists here only in cultivation. It is distinguished from 

 the German Millet by its larger, longer, more loosely-flowered 

 and usually nodding panicles. The millets of this class, that is 

 species or varieties of Setaria, are ready to cut sixty to sixty- 

 five days from time of sowing. When cut just as heading out, and 

 before blooming, they make a valuable and safe forage, but in 

 more advanced stages the feeder should be exceedingly careful, 

 for when ripe, these millets act injuriously upon the kidneys. 

 They are the refuge of the poor farmer whose other forage crops 

 have failed. They are grown here for the seed, and the pro- 

 duct is often used as bird and poultry food. 



Setaria verticillata, Beauv. — Bristly Fox- tail. 



An introduced grass, similar in habit to the next, but only 

 rarely found. It is peculiar in having the bristles roughened or
