On upland and college plats made a poor to fair standand grew eight to ten inches high. Not promising. Star Grass—Ghloris schwartziana.—A medium growing, succu-lent stemmed grass, native of the warmer regions of the world, closely related to Bermudaf grass. On our lowland plat this grass grew feebly thefirst year, but matured seedwhich was scattered on theplat. The second year itgave a good stand, whichwas mown for hay beforeripening seed. Disappearedthe third year. A good haygrass, but too tender for ourclimate. The following ad-ditional species of Clitoriswere tested and all provedrather inferior to the above :barbatus, divaricatus, virga-tus, and Fig. 1.—Tall Oat Grass. Fig. 2.—Hungarian Brome.
