1650, 1655, 1660, 1665, Orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata).—Grown in the 
Station grass garden in 1896. The samples were taken June 30, in the early 
seed stage. The stems were somewhat woody. No. 1650 was from a plot to 
which no fertilizer was applied. The growth was thin, light, and pale colored. 
No. 1655 was from a plot to which was applied dissolved bone-black at the rate 
of 320 pounds, and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. 
Growth only slightly heavier than on 1650. No. 1660 was from a plot which 
had dissolved bone-black and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1655, and in 
addition nitrate of soda at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. The growth was 
medium heavy, thick, and of fair color, No. 1665 was from a plot which had 
dissolved bone-black and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1655, and in 
addition nitrate of soda at the rate of 480 pounds per acre. There was a heavy, 
dense growth, of good color, and a large proportion of leafy, bottom growth. 
1651, 1656, 1661, 1666, AZeadow fescue (Festuca elatior).—Grown in the 
Station grass garden in 1896. The samples were taken June 30, in the early 
seed stage. Stems slightly woody. No. 1651 was from a plot which had no 
fertilizer. ‘The growth was slight, thin and spindled, and of pale color. No. 
1656 was from a plot which had dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds 
per acre, and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds. A slightly heavier 
growth than on 1651, but of pale yellow. No. 1661 was from a plot which had 
dissolved bone-black and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1656, and in 
addition nitrate of soda at the rate of 160 pounds. Quite a good growth and of 
fair color. Bottom growth quite heavy. No. 1666 was from a plot which had 
dissolved bone-black and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1656, and in 
addition nitrate of soda at the rate of 480 pounds per acre. ‘There was a heavy 
crop of dark green color. Bottom growth very thick. 
1652, 1657, 1662, 1667, Brome grass (Bromus inermis).,—Grown in the 
Station grass garden in 1896. Samples were taken June 30, in the early seed 
stage. Stems quite woody. No. 1652 was from a plot to which no fertilizer 
had been applied. The growth was thin and stemmy. No. 1657-was from a 
plot which had dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per acre, and 
muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds. A thin growth, somewhat heavier 
than on 1652. No. 1662 was from a plot which had dissolved bone-black and 
muriate of potash at the same rate as 1657, and in addition nitrate of soda at 
the rate of 160 pounds per acre. A medium heavy growth of good color; not 
much leaf growth. No. 1667 was from a plot which had dissolved bone-black 
and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1657, and in addition nitrate of soda 
at the rate of 480 pounds. Medium heavy growth of dark green color. The 
growth on the whole was rather stemmy, not equal to timothy, fescue, or orchard 
grass on corresponding plots. 
1653, 1658, 1663, 1668, Red-top (Agrostis vulgaris ).—Grown in the Station 
grass garden in 1896. ‘The samples were taken July 14, in the early seed stage. 
Stems quite succulent, but flower heads rather brown. No. 1653 was froma 
plot which had no fertilizer. There was a fine thick growth, quite small, not 
as pale colored as other varieties. No. 1658 was from a plot which had dis- 
solved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds, and muriate of potash at the rate 
of 160 pounds, per acre. A little heavier growth than on 1653. No. 1663 was
