MEADOW FESCUE. 
(. Festuca Pratensis .) 
NOTE the absence of awns on the florets ; the rounded leaf sheaths ; and the fairly broad leaves , this species being; 
a good type of the broad-leaved Fescues. The leaves have a rich green colour, and the nodding panicle is turned: 
somewhat to one side. The plant is deep-rooted and grows in compact tufts. A good grass in meadows and' pastures,, 
and thrives on damp, clayey, or marshy soils. Observe that the little stalk or pedicle at the base of the inner face 
of the “ seed ” is circular in section, thick at the free end, and thinner in the middle, thus differing frbm the 
corresponding structure in Perennial Rye Grass “ Seed,” which is shorter, and more elliptical in cross section. 
Seed Tested for Purity and Germination. Price Is. Id. and Is. 4d. per lb. Special Prices for Quantities. See also page i6>
