freely, and will come up year after year on the same 
ground. If sown in September it will make excellent 
forage the following spring. The top is small and in- 
conspicuous at the start, but the root-system is exten- 
sive from the beginning. The plant is a valuable nitro- 
gen gatherer. It blossoms in May from autumn-sown 
seed. The beautiful purple blossoms and graceful foli- 
age make the Hairy Vetch worthy of a place in the
