Goose grass

February 5. 

P. M. — To Boaz’s Meadow. 

There is a plenty of that handsome-seeded grass which I think Tarbell called goose grass in the meadow south of the roadway, at Boaz’s Meadow, also in the meadows far north in the woods, and some in Minot Pratt’s meadow.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 5, 1858

Boaz's Meadow. See November 11, 1857 ("That cellar-hole off northwest of Brooks Clark’s is where Boaz Brown used to live, and the andromeda swamp behind is “Boaz's (pronounced Boze's) meadow,” says Jacob Farmer, who has seen corn growing in the meadow. "); November 18, 1857 ("There is the meadow behind Brooks Clark’s . . .. The stream which drains this empties into the Assabet at Dove Rock. A short distance west of this meadow, but a good deal more elevated, is Boaz's meadow, whose water finds its way, naturally or artificially, northeast ward around the other.")
