Perennial English Perennial Rye Grass. 13 held in high esteem for pasturage, soiling and the formation of lawns; in habit somewhat like Orchard Grass; and it is possible that united on the same meadow, it would be profitable. It ripens early and should be cut when in blossom, mak- ing a large return of very nutritious hay, of which stock is very fond. Is naturally adapted to a variety of soils, but succeeds best on moderately moist land. In a choice mixture for per- manent pasture, it would form a valuable adjunct. Sow tity pounds to the acre.

One great merit is its rapidity of growth, which makes it even valuable for one season. It affords repeated large and nutritive crops. When sown with other grasses, but a small quantity of seed should be used, for if too thick, it is liable to choke the others out. It grows best in rich, moist meadows. Sow forty to fifty pounds to the acre. Lb., 15c; 100 lbs., $ Timothy. (Pklevtm ). This is decidedly the best grass for hay, making a large return on strong rich clay, of medium state of moist- ure; though somewhat coarse and haid, especially if allowed to ripen its seed, yet, if cut in the blossom, or directly after, it is relished by all kinds of stock, and especially so by horses, while it possesses a large percentage of nutritive matter in comparison with other agricultural grasses. It grows very rapidly, and yields very large crops on favorable soils. It can never be used effectu- ally as a pasture grass. It will take from twelve to fifteen pounds per acre.
