this grass is popularity called herds grass and
the name rs attributed TO a Mr.. Herd who
lived in New Hampshire in i75O. In Pennsyl-

and its importation from Europe attributed
10 Timothy Hanson. In England the timothy
is commonly named "meadow cats tail"

there were sign boards put up along the roads
hequented by drovers, pointing out where
fields OF Catholic" grass We're 90 be let as
pasture. This was but another name for
timothy, and was derived from the impress
s on that the priests of the early missions
lad imported IL for cultivation. as they hal
done very many food and forage plants. The
fact that the seed of this grass is usually
sown about ST. Timothy's day makes ~
probable that this fact mas something 10 do
with the name.

This is the first time he has taken a promi-
