( Dactylis G/omerata.) 
NOTE the thick dusters into which the spikelets are agglomerated , thus imparting to the panicle an appearance 
easily recognisable, as it differs from that of any other British grass. A tall robust plant of vigorous and rapid growth, 
its leaves are broad, thick, and bluisk-green, but become whitish and flattened near the ground, forming dense tufts or 
tussocks. The “ seed consists of the floret, and is slightly twisted at the pointed extremity. A good meadow grass 
on account of the abundance of its herbage, but not suited for sowing alone because of its tussocky growth. 
Seed Tested for Purity and Germination. Price lid. and Is. 3d. per lb. Special Prices for Quantities. See also page 16.
