Fig. 1.— A Typical Mountain Marsh. 



Minarn Meadow, altitude 5,000 feet, covered mainly with tall swamp sedge. Redtop is 

 adapted to such a situation, but can be established only with difficulty because of the 

 densely matted soil surface. 



Fig. 2.— Timothy and Redtop Established. 



A moist meadow in the Wallowa Mountains, 5,200 feet elevation, originally covered with 

 various plants of low forage value which have been almost completely supplanted by 

 timothy and redtop.
