BEARD-GRASS, BROOM SEDGE, FORKED BEARD-GRASS, AND BUSHY BEARD-GRASS When the ro>al purple and goldof asters and goldenrod paint the\ waysides, and mark the turning to-ward harvest of the tide of midsum-mer, the Beard-grasses also appear as thevanguard of autumn and show the advanc-ing season as surely as do the more brilliantflowers. In every state, from coast to coast,these grasses grow, characteristic of dry,sandy soils, and easy of recognition.
