Some Foreign Plant Introductions. 



Agropyrom spp. (Gramineae.) 2S306- 

 308. From Russia. Received through 

 Prof. N. E. Hansen. 2<S306. "This is 

 considered a very valuable grass, na- 

 tive of the driest steppes of Eastern 

 Russia and a large part of Siberia. 

 The chemical analysis of this plant 

 has attracted the attention of the Rus- 

 sian Government agronomists, indicat- 

 ing a higher per cent, of protein than 

 alfalfa. If this holds true under cul- 

 tivation in the United States it may 

 be a valuable addition to our western 

 grasses. Prof. R. W. Williams, of the 

 Imperial Agricultural College at Mos- 

 cow, Russia, is improving this species 

 by selection from individual plants. 

 The present sample is selection No. 1. 

 The original seed was gathered grow- 

 ing wild in the Turgai Province, the
