NOTES ON THE PLATS. 



Plat A (1). — Thirty-four rows on the east side of this plat were sown to 

 smooth bunch grass {Poa laevigata). Seed collected by Shear and Bessey in 

 Colorado in 1898. Part of the seed was sown broadcast and part of it was drilled. 

 Very little of the seed germinated on the ground sown broadcast, and this was 

 pulverized Jime 30 to destroy weeds. The seed drilled did not make a very good 

 stand, but made a healthy growth. Seed sown May 10 ; sprouted and up May 

 33 ; October 23, the plants were two to three inches high and still green.
