(Poa Pratensis,)âThis grass, which, in different parts of the country is known under various names,, such as June Grass. Green Grass, etc-, flour- ishes most in limestone soils and in dry, somewhat shaded situations. It requires several years to become thoroughly established, but when once well set is permanent, and will en- dure the hottest summeis. It spreads with great rapidity, and is apt to get so strong a hold upon the land that eradicating it is a matter of consid- erable difficulty. The leaves are rather too short to be use- ful for hay, but as a pasture it is extremely valuable, being tender and nutritious. Blue Grass is unsurpassed for its velvety appearance and lovely color, and is therefore used as a basis of most fine law* mixtures: but whether in- tended for pasturage or for a lawn, it should be sown thickly upon well-prepared ground, covered thinly and the surface rolled if possible.
