CANADI.4lN BtUE GRASS. 



( Poa Comprensa.) The li a r d i e s t 

 grass in cultivation, should not be 

 confounded with the Kentucky Bhie 

 I 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 

 seed is ripe. It shrinks less in dry- 

 ing than most other grasses, and 

 consequently makes a hay very 

 heavy in proportion to its bulk. It 

 is an 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 all soils that are aftected seri- 

 ously by long continued droughts.
