Water Hair Grass (Aira aquatica) is the sweetest of the British grasses. Its stems and leaves when green have a sweet and agreeable taste, like that of a liquorice. Water fowls are said to be very fond of the seeds and the fresh green shoots which cattle eat very readily. It is a strict aquatic but can be cultvated on imperfectly drained bogs.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Arrhenatherum avenaceum), or Tall Oat Grass is the avena elatior of Linnaeus. It has open panicled spikelets. The grass is two-flowered, the lower flower staminate, bearing a long bent awn below the middle of the back. The leaves are flat, acute and roughish on both sides. The panicle leans slightly to one side and the glumes are very unequal. The stems grow from two to three feet high with a perennial fibrous root that is sometimes bulbous. It is distinguished from other grasses by having two florets, the lower one having a long awn rising from a little above the base of the base of the outer palea. The grass flowers from May to July.

The Meadow Soft Grass (Holcus lanatus), also referred to as Velvet Grass, has its spikelets crowded in an open panicle, and an awn with the lower part perfectly smooth. It grows from one to two feet high with an erect smooth stem. The root is perennial and fibrous, with four to five leaves with soft, downy sheaths. The upper sheath much longer than its leaf with an inflated obtuse ligule. There are usually four joints with generally covered with soft downy hairs, the points of which are turned downwards. The leaves are pale-green, flat, broad, acute, soft on both sides, and covered with delicate slender hairs. It has hairy, oblate glumes tipped with a minute brislte.

The stem is round, smooth, erect and form two to seven feet high. There are five to six broad, lightish-green,acute, harsh, flat-ribbed leaves. The central rib the most prominent and roughish on both surfaces. It grows on wet grounds by the sides of rivers and standing pools. It may be gathered and sown with winter grain. Flowers in July.

The Common Millet (Panicum miliaceum) flowers in large, open, nodding panicles. The leaves are lance-shaped and broad. The stem grows from one to two feet high. The seed is rich in nutritive qualities. Millet requires good soil, and is rather an exhausting crop, but yeilds a produce valuable in proortion to richness of the soil, and care and expense of cultivation.

Hungarian Grass (Panicum Germanicum) is an annual forage plant. It germinates readily, withstands the drought remarkably, remaining green even when other vegetation is parched up. If its development is arrested by dry weather, the east rain will restore it to vigor. It has numerous succulent leaves, which furnish an abundance of green fodder. Hungarian Grass flourishes in somewhat light and dry soils, though it attains its greatest luxuriance in soils of medium consistency and well-mannered. This grass is thought to contain a somewhat higher percentage of nutriment than the common millet. It is a leafy plant and remains green until the seeds mature.

Maize known as corn by most English-speakers, is a cereal grain domesticated in Mesoamerica and subsequently spread throughout the American continents. Indian Corn, or maize, grows with a strong, jointed stalk, rising to the height of five to fifteen feet. The male or sterile flowers are arranged in a loose, spreading panicle at the apex, called the tassel and the female fertile flowers on the side. Each plant bears from one to five ears which are are cylindrical and enclosed in a covering of leaves called husks. The ears consists of grain, arranged around a pithy cylinder, called the cob. The seeds are rounded on the surface and compressed on the sides. Indian Corn is annual and is one of the most important of all the cultvated plants.
