The proportional value which the grass of the latter-

as 2 to 8, and to that of the crop, at the time the seed is 
ripe, is as 2 to 5. 
The general appearance of this grass is very similar to 
that of the Festuca duriuscula : it is, however, specifically 
different, and inferior in many respects, which will be mani- 
fest on comparing their several produce with each other ; 
but if it be compared with some others, now under general 
cultivation, the result is much in its favour, the soil which 
it affects being duly attended to. The Anthoxanthum odor - 
otum being taken as an example, it appears, that 
Festuca glabra affords of nutritive matter
