jj£ "Where a grass or grasses is desired for laying down for a period of 10 or more years we would 



earnestly draw the farmers' attention to the first 7 mentioned grasses which have proven them- 

 selves as thoroughly adapted to the Northwest and Western States, and as they become better 

 known their cultivation is rapidly increasing. They do well in mixture with clover and should 

 be sown at the rate of 25 pounds per acre, four- fifths grasses to one-fifth clover seed. 



BROMUS INERMIS, OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 



An exceedingly valuable grass, succeeds and produces immense crops of high nutritive value 

 on the sterile and arid plains of our Western States, growing luxuriantly on dry, sandy soils, where 

 other grasses would perish. It is perennial, and once sown down will stand for 10 years. It is one 

 of the surest to obtain a catch from establishing itself very rapidly, so much so that a good Hay 

 crop can be had the first season, followed afterwards by an immense amount of succulent pastur- 

 age; two crops a year can be had from it, often running over 5 tons cured Hay per acre. When 

 fully grown the plant stands from 4 to 5 feet in height and stools out freely; it is ready to cut 

 the latter part of June. This is the Russian Grass or Russian Brome Grass of some writers.
