Ger- man, Wechselblat- triger Schwingel. French, Fetuque feuilles variees. Ferennial. Time of flowering, June and Julv. Height, 2>£ to 3 feet. A native of France _ind a valuable grass for permanent pas- tures, especially on uplands, and is a very popular conti- nental grass, well adapted where a heavy swath is wanted. It yields a large bulk of her- bage, but produces little feed after mowing. Its beau- tiful, dark green foliage renders it suitable for park mixtures. Sow (if alone) 3 bushels per acre; weight, about 14 lbs. per bushel. Price, 35 cts. per lb., $ per bushel, per 100 lbs. ?. SHEEP'S FESCUE. Botanical, Festuca ovina.

The Tar- tars generally pitched their tents in proxim- ity to this grass on account of its value £». to their herds. It is short and dense in growth, and its excel- lent nutritive qual- ities more than coun- terbalance its slight deficiency in quanti- ty. Its fine foliage and compact habit render it desirable for lawn mixtures. Sow (if sheep's fescue. alone) 2^4 bushels per acre; weight about 12 lbs. per bushel. Price, 25 cts. per lb.; $ per bushel; $ per 100 lbs. FINE LEATED SHEEP'S FESCUE. Botanical, Festuca ovina tenuifolia. German, Femblattriger Schwingel. French, Fetuque afeuille menue. Perennial. Time of flowering, June. Height varies from 8 to 24 inches. This is similar to the Sheep's Fescue mentioned above, except that the leaves are much finer. Cattle are very fond of it, and it grows naturally in many parts of the world. It is
