. The grasses of Tennessee; including cereals and forage plants. Grasses; Forage plants; Grain. PIORIN—WHITE CLOVEE. 207 PIORIN, BENT (Agro8t* alba.) Stem hollow or soon becoming so, spikelets in panicles, sometimes crowded, but never so as to form a spike, flowers one and perfect in each spikelet, with or without ru- diments of others, stamens three, rarely fewer, stems with procum- bent or creeping base, ligule long and conspicuous, panicle more dense, greenish or slightly purplish. Perennial. Fiorin is quite popular in England as a meadow grass, and is known as 'Bent grass' or White Bent. It belongs to the same family as the herds grass, and is very like it. It is nourishing, and makes a good grass for pas- tures. In Tennessee it can- not hold rank with many others as a meadow grass, but it is of sufficient value to de- serve WHITE diOVER.~( Trifoliwn repens.) Its stems are spreading, slender, creeping; leaves inversely heart- shaped; flower heads small, white; pods four-seeded, roots perennial; flowers from May to September. White Clover has been lauded to the skies by some, and by others depreciated as a vile weed. It is beyond question next to blue grass, one of our most valuable grazing plants. Its analysis shows it to be! equal to red clover in most re- spects, and superior as a fat producing plant.
