A common grass along streams and wet borders of thickets. 

 It has very rough leaves and a whitish panicle, which expands in 

 August. Of no value in agriculture. 



Leersia Virginica, Willd. — Virginia Cut-grass, White-grass, Small- 

 flowered White-grass. 



Common, and growing in similar situations with the last. It is 

 more slender and delicate in its habit than Rice-grass, but is 

 equally valueless. 



Leptochloa mucronata, Kunth, — Feather-grass. 



An annual weed common in rich cultivated grounds and 

 gardens. It grows to the height of two to four feet, has rather 

 broad leaves and a long, terminal, somewhat feather-like panicle 

 (panicle-like raceme.) 



Little Blue-stem. — Andropogon scoparius. 



Lolium Italicum, Braun. — Italian Rye-grass. 



An excellent grass for rich and rather moist lands. It is a 

 very rapid grower, forms a dense turf, and in Europe is regarded 

 as one of the best grasses for mowing. On heavy clays or on 

 any very dry soil it does not do well; but on good calcareous 

 loams, or marls, or on moist, loamy sands when the soil is in 

 good condition, the yield is large, and *'no other grass repays 

 manuring so well." It lasts only for two or three years.
