TIMOTHY. 
( Pkleum Pratense.) 
Note that, though at first sight the ear or panicle of Timothy appears to bear some resemblance to that of 
Meadow Foxtail, it is nevertheless easy to distinguish between the two. The ear of Timothy is green in colour, and 
feels rough when drawn between the finger and thumb ; that of Foxtail is silver-grey and smooth. In Foxtail the 
florets have silky awns ; in Timothy there are no awns. The leaves of Timothy are broader and more rigid than those 
of Foxtail. Timothy is a late-flowering grass ; Foxtail is early. Timothy has well-developed fibrous roots, and 
sometimes the base of the stem becomes bulbous just above the root fibres. The “ seed ” of Timothy is neat, 
compact, of a light drab colour, and unlike any other seed in commerce. Timothy grass is a most valuable constituent 
of good pastures.
