Delights in high and rocky value, except for sheep pasture. 30 lbs. to the acre Alopecurus pratensis is of little agricultural Per lb. Per 100 lbs. 20 $15 00 (Meadow Fox-tail Grass.) One of the very best grasses for permanent pasture, and thrives to perfec- tion on lands of an intermediate quality as to moisture and dryness.

Much smaller than the perennial, and of much less value, last- ing one year only. 20 to 25 lbs. to the 20 Avena elatior. (Tall Meadow Oat Grass.)
