MEADOW FOXTAIL 
Botanical, Alopecurus pratensis. German, Wisen Fuchsschwanz. 
French, Vulpin des prés. 
Height, 2 to 3 feet 
Perennial. Time of flowering, May. 
This grass closely 
resembles Timothy, 
but flowers much 
earlier, and thrives 
in all soils excepting 
dry sands or gravels. 
Its highest state of 
perfection is attained 
in strong, moist, rich 
soils, and it is par- 
ticularly valuable as 
a permanent pasture 
grass, being of very 
early andrapid 
growth. It is highly 
relished by stock; en- 
dures close cropping 
and forms a luxuriant 
aftermath, and quick- 
ly revives after a long 
drought. It is very 
nutritious, but un- 
fortunately loses a2 
large percentage in 
weight after being 
cut for hay. Sow (if 
alone) 3 to 4 bushels 
per acre; weight, a- 
bout 7 lbs. per bushel. 
Price, 55 cts. per 
Ib.; $3.75 per bushel;
