v. v. A most excellent grass. I have seen mountain 
meadows in Pensyl vania, where they mow this grass 
twice a year, producing most excellent crops each time, 
without manure, or any other trouble than the mow- 
ing, lasting for the space of sixteen years, without 
the least decline in the crops, the soil at the same time 
being a very indifferent one.
