HUNGARIAN BROME-GRASS (Bromus Inermis)- 

 This great drought-defying, frost-resisting grass is now at- 

 tracting much attention in the United States. It yields enor- 

 mous crops of splendid hay, and aiTords rich, abundant 

 pasturage. Bromus Inermis has been known in Europe for 

 over one hundred and thirty years. It is grown extensively 

 in Hungary and is commonly known as Hungarian, or 

 Smooth Brome-grass. It endures extremes of temperature 

 and resists protracted drought. It grows best in light, sandy 

 loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clays. It is 

 equally good for cutting green, pasturing or cutting into hay. 

 It can be sown alone and also does well sown with clover and 

 timothy. Use 20 pounds to the acre if alone; if with 

 clover, 15 pounds. It may be sown in the fall with winter 

 wheat, or in the spring.
