Hungarian Grass {Panicum Germanicum). A valuable forage plant. Succeeds well on dry, light soil; withstands the drouth remarkably, remaining green when every other vegetation is parched up ; and if its development is arrested by dry weather, the least rain will restore it to vigor. Mesquite {Holcus la?iacus). Valuable on the cleared redwood and pine lands of California and Oregon, giving large crops of hay and good pasture, but not considered as nutritious as some other grasses. Orchrad Grass (Glactylisglomorala). This is one of the most valuable and widely known of all pasture grasses, coming early in the spring and remaining later in autumn than any other ; it grows about 2^ feet high, producing an immense quantity of leaves and foliage. It is well adapted for sowing under trees or orchards, and very valuable for grazing or for hay. Kentucky Blue Grass (Poapraiensis). This grass yields, at a very early period of the season, herbage of the most nutritious properties ; thrives in moderately dry soils ; extensive- ly grown in many parts of the country, but used principally for grass plots and lawns. Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass—{Festuca pra- tensis). Grows 2 or 3 feet high, but never in large tufts like Orchard Grass. One of the ear- liest, most nutritious and pro- ductive grasses. It is especially suitable for permanent pasture ; thrives well in all soils, but to best advantage on moist lands. Makes good hay, and cattle Kentucky blue grass, thrive on it. Millet, German {Panicum Germanicum var). An improved variety, yielding a larger crop of seed than the Common Millet. It is also taller than the Com- mon, and yields a heavier crop of hay. The grains of seeds are larger and of a deeper orange-yellow. It will grow on any good agricultural land, and yields heavily when artificially wat
