(Bromus Inermis.) 
It originated in Russia, and is recommended on account of the manner 
n which It has stood on the Hungary plains, where the dry, sterile 
laturc of the country and the long-continued drouths makes so manv 
Mants succumb. This Bromus. however, stands well, and has been 
nown for thirty years to stand when such robust corps as Lucerne 
avebeen destroyed. It gives a luxuri.int crop, particulariy on fresh 
andy loam soil, and where the climate is warm. It is found that 
nimals eat it greedily, whether in the green or in the dry state, so that 
^■an be used as mown or saved for winter use. The seed issown in the 
early spring. It is also useful in filling up gaps where Lucerne orClover 
crops fiave . failed. It will stand under favorable conditfons for 1^^
