The seeds of this grass are small, and about one bushel would sow an acre of ground. FESTUCA rubra. RED or CREEPING FESCUE-GRASS. A fine grass, very like duriuscula; but it is not common in this part of the country; it grows plentifully on the mountains in Wales. It does not produce fertile seeds with us in the garden. FESTUCA pratensis.
If the farmer could get his land fit for meadow laid down with one bushel of this seed, one bushel of Alopecurus pratensis, three pounds of Anthoxanthum, and a little Bromus mollis, with Clover, I will venture to predict experience will induce him to say, "I will seek no further." FESTUCA ovina.
Pratensis conceived that it was similar to the one observed by Hipparchus, and urged Tycho to publish the observations which he had made upon it. This absurd notion was with some difficulty overcome, and through the earnest entreaties and assistance of Pratensis, his work on the new star was published in 1573. This remarkable body presents to us one of the most interesting phenomena in astronomy.
After a few days of warfare, followed by a sullen armistice, he introduces a newly hatched pratensis which is very hungry. She runs to those of her own species begging them to feed her. The pratenses fob her off. Then the poor innocent appeals to the enemies of her species, the sanguineae, and, after the manner of ants, she licks the mouth of two among them.
I have not observed it to be cultivated in Worcestershire or Herefordshire, where there appears to be much land that would grow it, and which is under much inferior crops. The seed sown is about four bushels per acre. A mistake is often made in mentioning this plant. See Gleanings on Works of Agriculture and Gardening, p. 88, where a curious blunder occurs of this kind. LATHYRUS pratensis.
When persons wish to introduce it, they should carefully examine their neighbouring pastures, and see how it thrives in such places. The seeds are small, and six pounds would be sufficient for an acre, with others that affect a similar soil. POA pratensis.
We used a mixture of poa pratensis, timothy, and Dutch clover, and have abundant reason to be satisfied with the result. When bush-falling is performed by hired labour, it usually goes by contract. The bushman agrees to fall, fire, and log a specified tract, at a fixed price per acre.
Having gone to Copenhagen in the course of the ensuing spring, he shewed this manuscript to John Pratensis, a Professor, in whose house he was always hospitably received. Charles Danzeus, the French ambassador, and a person of great learning, having heard of Tycho's arrival, invited himself to dine with him at the house of Pratensis.
This milk they are extremely fond of; and once made, they need not repeat the use of the leaves as above, for a spoonful or less of it will turn another quantity of warm milk, and make it like the first, and so on, as often as they please to renew their food. Lightfoot's Flor. Scot. p. 77. CHAMPIGNON. Agaricus pratensis.
Med. vol. ii. p. 270. CARDAMINE pratensis. LADIES SMOCK. The Leaves. L. E. D. Long ago it was employed as a diuretic; and, of late, it has been introduced in nervous diseases, as epilepsy, hysteria, choraea, asthma, &c. A dram or two of the powder is given twice or thrice a-day. It has little sensible operation. CARUM Carui. CARAWAY. The Seeds.
