places the Kentucky bluegrass
forms a thick. carpet though in
general the plants do not grow tall
the willow bushes being only one
or two feet high in favored situa-
tions. Timothy grows so luXuriant-

are the most conspicuous plant
growths OF all. They clothe the
cliffs completely up to a heighth Of
