A New Fodder Plant: " Penicillaria." 
— This new fodder plant seems to be attracting 
universal attention among our readers, says 
American Gardening, and the crop is truly 
wonderful, as ib yields from three to seven cuttings 
per year from one sowing and has produced 
ninety-five tons of green fodder per acre from 
three cuttings in a carefully weighed test. The 
seeds are so very small that one pound will plant 
an acre, and still one plant usually has 25 to 75 
stalks, growing seven to fourteen feet in height. 
When it is figured that one-fourth acre will 
produce sufficient fodder to support a cow six 
months, either for summer or winter food, and 
that the dry hay, as well as the fresh fodder, is 
highly nourishing, the value of the new plant will 
be better appreciated, — hulmi Planting and, 
Gardening, April II,
