Tares. Matth. 13. 25. &c. [See Fitches and Pulse.]

N. Vicia Sylvestris, sive Cracca: Some are Sown, though not usually, in most places of England, and benefit the Land as other Pulses, and are rather to be preferred for Fodder, than any other Use they can be put unto: Others are wild, and do no good, but spoil the Corn they spring in, yet feed and advance Cattel well, saith one, that are almost starved, and are frequent∣ly found in Pastures and Meadows; These wild sorts are called by some Tar-grass.

La Romain, or French Tares or Fitches, is an∣nually Sown in France, and other places, very quick of growth, excellent Food for Cattel, especially for Horses, eating it in the former part of the Sum∣mer, it may be let grow for Hay.
