Height, 18 to 24 inches. A dwarf growing, very hardy grass of great value, and th« most robust of the ^.fsS^^' dwarf grasses. Sue ceeds in diy situa- tions, and is one of the most important of the Fescues for permanent pas- tures. In hay its presence indicates a superior quality, and after being mown it produces a very large quan- tity of food. It comes early, stands long droughts well; stock eat it with avidity, especially sheep. The com- mon name solely applies to the flow- er heads, which, when ripe, become decidedly hard; the herbage, however, is decidedly tender and succulent. From the fineness of its foliage and its resistance to drought in summer and cold in winter, it is well adapted for lawn grass mixtures. It is somewhat inclined to stool, but when sown with other grasses, if sown evenly, it will not show this characteristic. Sow (if alone) 23^ bushels per acre; weight, about 12 lbs. per bushel. Price, 20c. per lb.; $ per bushel; $ per 100 lbs. We are prepared to malie up Special Mixtures of Grass Seeds for particular purposes—situations or conditions—and any correspondence in regard to such wlll^ receive our prompt attention.—P.
