Poa Pratensis. 
( Smooth-stalked Meadow Grass). 
Per lb. Is. 3d. to Is. 6d. 
Perennial, i£ ft. to 2 ft. Flowers June to July. Grows well on all 
classes of soil that contain enough of vegetable matter, provided they 
be not too stiff or sour; is of greatest ,value, however, on light, dry soils. 
Is very early, resists extremes of drought and cold, and’by the second 
season forms a dense complete^ bottom sward. Specially useful 
for spring pastures, but its dense growth makes it unsuitable for clover 
mixtures. Should be cut when in flower. 
Poa Trivialis. 
(Rough- stalked Meadow Grass). 
Per lb. Is. 4d. to Is. 6d. 
Perennial, 2 ft. to 3 ft. Flowers J une to J uly. A most nutritious 
and palatable moisture-loving “ bottom grass,” forming'a' close dense 
sward on all suitable soils. Incapable of withstanding drought, it 
luxuriates on moist bottomed lands, does well under the shade of 
trees, and responds vigorously to generous treatment. Useful for 
confined grass plots in the vicinity of large towns. 
Yarrow or Milfoil. 
( A chillea millefolium ) . 
Per lb. 5s. 
Perennial, i£ ft. Flowers June to September. A little of this 
should be added to all pasturage mixtures for medium and especially 
for dry soils. Capable of resisting intense drought, it can flourish on 
hot dry gravelly soils, and there yield excellent pasturage, closely 
cropped as a rule by all classes of stock.
