"Very hardy, early, a heavy cropper and producing a good aftermath of succulent leafy shoots Reports received from all parts of Canada speak very highly of this newly introduced grass. It thrives well in any loose soil and with- stands droughts, but produces a much heavier crop in rich, damp land. We consider this one of the most valuable of the introduced grasses, both from its feeding qua- lities as evinced by the analysis, and from its free luxuriant habit of growth. It must, however, be remembered that it makes long underground rootstocks which are difficult to eradicate. Flowering period, June 25 to July 10, Height, 3 to 0 feet.
