excellent hay, and if it can be successfully cultivated will no doubt prove vain 

 able for cold, wet meadows of mountainous regions. The woolly character of 

 the glumes enclosing the seed makes their manipulation rather difficult. 



Mountain rye-grass {Elymus glaueus). — This grass is abundant, especially in 

 higher altitudes, on subalpine, sparsely wooded slopes and in cleared pla 

 where it grows very thrifty, pro lucing a large amount of excellent forage. It 

 gives promise of considerable value for cultivation in mountainous regions, and 

 may also succeed well in lower altitudes.
