affording winter feed when all the other grasses have been cut off by frost; increasing a great deal too fast unless the ground be well drained.—Boys. Altitude 500 feet; thrives everywhere; flowers second week in December; useful in spring, etc.; do not think it stands drought quite so well as some others; stock do not prefer it; resists frost very well; is increasing, and easy of production.—Dixon. 19. Avena flavescens. Golden Bristle grass.—Altitude 60 feet; thrives on dry soil; flowers in December; is a useful autumn grass, and resists drought well, but stock do not like it; is on the increase; it appears to kill other grasses; paddocks that have been sown down any time almost invariably get overrun with it.—Glyde. 20. Avena elatior. Large Oat-grass.—It is a great weed.—Dixon. 21. Ceratochloa unioloides. Prairie grass.—Altitude 500 feet; do not think it will be permanent; stock like it very much, and it resists frost very well, but is decreasing.—Dixon. Altitude 60 feet; it thrives on dry soil; flowers in December; is a useful autumn grass, and resists drought well; stock very fond of it; stands frost well; is on the increase. There is great difference of opinion with regard to this grass. I had a field of it; it did well first year, second year nothing; ploughed it up and put in wheat, the grass came up in the stubble better than ever.—Glyde. Note by Mr. Dixon.—I take it for granted that a paddock intended for permanent pasture must be laid down with permanent pasture grasses, and must not on any account be broken up again, as it requires a great number of years to get these grasses established; light stocking should be a rule. My replies must be taken relatively. Remarks on Appendix C. By A. Duncan. As will be seen in the tabulated reports furnished by Messrs. Dixon, Boys, and Glyde, the great majority of grasses, of which information was asked for, have been tried in this province, and all have been more or less favourably spoken of with the exception of the two Avenas, and the Poa nemoralis and P. nemoralis sempervirens. Respecting the Avenas, it is probable that these grasses have been confounded with others that are to a certain extent like them, if observed casually. Mr. Glyde evidently confounds the Avena flavescens with the Bromus mollis, or else the Bromus secalinus, commonly termed Goose or Brome grasses. Mr. Dixon, on the other hand, names the same grass Trisetum flavescens (which is the name it goes under in commerce), but says he has been “unable to make it out in the plot.” Mr. Dixon, however, says the Avena elatior is “a great weed,” evidently confounding it with the Bromi.
