Its chief use innature is in aiding swampy ground to gather the soil that driftsfrom the high land, and make land that will in time sustain amore nutritious growth. Shakespeare makes Hotspur, in Henry IV, refer to themarsh-loving character of the Sedge Grass when he speaks of The gentle Severns sedgy bank, The Tussock-Sedge is a native of most of the States eastof the Mississippi, except the extreme South, and is also nativeto Europe.
