  plant 
  growing 
  without 
  irrigation 
  in 
  a 
  tough 
  

   prairie 
  sod 
  near 
  Cheyenne, 
  Wyo. 
  The 
  parent 
  plant 
  was 
  located 
  in 
  a 
  pasture 
  

   where 
  it 
  had 
  received 
  decidedly 
  harsh 
  treatment. 
  This 
  strain 
  is 
  quite 
  

   uniform, 
  and 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  drought 
  resistant, 
  as

  as 
  one 
  

   of

  in 
  the
