KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.
The Noble Woodland Pastures of
Beautiful Country.

The Noble Woodland Pastures of
Beautiful Country.
But the feature of this part Of Kentucky
that struck me the most forcibly are the
Immense sylvan or woodland pastures.
The forests are simply vast grassy orchards
of maple and oak, or other trees, where the
herds Craze and repose. They everywhere
give look to the land as of royal parks
and commons. They are as clean as Il
meadow and as inviting as long, grassy
vistas and circles of cool shade can make
them. All the saplings and bushy under
groaths common to forests have been re-
moved, leaving only the large trees scat
tered here and there, which seem to protect
rather than occupy the ground.
Such look of leisure. of freedom, OF
amplitude, as these forest groves give to
the HANDICAPPED What vistas, what alsles,
what retreats What depths of sunshine
and shadow! The grass is as uniform as
carpet, and grows quite up to the boles OF
trees, One popularity of the blue grass Is
that it takes complete possession OF the
soil: it suffers no rival; it Is as uniform as
q fall of snow.
Only one weed seems to hold it's own
against the grass, and that is ironweed, a
plant like robust purple aster, i've or. six
feet high. This is Kentucky's one weed, so
far as [ saw. 1t was low and inconspicu-
Gus while 1 was there but before fall il
gets tall and rank, and its masses of purple
flowers make very striking SPECTACLE
