Per bush. $; per qt. $o 10 Millet, German (Panicum Germanicum).—This is an improvement on Hungarian Grass if cut just as the leaves are turning. Under some circumstances it will yield half as much more to the acre. On Bloomsdale Farm, on one occasion, we cut thirteen tons of dry clean hay from three acres. Sow one bushel to the acre. Per bush. $; per qt. 10 Orchard Grass, or Rough Cocksfoot (Dactylis Glomerata).—One of the most valuable of all the cultivated Grasses, blooming with the Red Clover and mak- ing with it an admirable hay.
