CANADIAN BLUE GRASS. 
(Poa Compressa.) |The hardiest 
grass in cultivation, should not be 
confounded with the Kentucky Blue 
Grass. Canadian Blue Grass shoots 
its leaves very early. All grazing 
animals eat it greedily ; cows fed on 
it produce a very rich milk and fine 
flavored butter, and it is especially 
relished by sheep. Its bluish-green 
stems retain their color after the 
seedisripe. It shrinks less in dry- 
ing than most other grasses, and 
consequently makes a hay very 
heavy in proportion to its bulk. It 
isan excellent grass for dry, sandy, 
thin soils and banks, and for cover- 
ing the surface of rocky soils, along 
trodden walks, gravelly knolls and 
upon ali soils that are affected seri- 
ously by long continued droughts.
