Ger- man, " Wechselbldt- triger Schwingel. French, Fetuque feuilles variees. Perennial. Time of flowering, June and July. Height, 2>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 swat h 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, 28 cts. per lb., $ per bushel, $ 100 lbs. SHEEP'S FESCUE. Botanical, Festuca ovina. German, Schafackwing^L French, Fetuque des brebis. Perennial. Time of flowering, June and July. Height varies from 6 to 20 tnobea. For good upland or dry pastures, a large portion of this grass should be included in the mixture, es- pecially if it is used for sheep grazing, as it is greatly relished by them. 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 moi'e than coun- terbalance its slight deficiency in quanti- ty. Its fine foliage and compact habit render it desirable for lawn mixtures. Sow (if alone) 2}4 bushels Price, 22 cts. per iL>.;.
