LOLIUM MULTIPLORUM. 25522. Prom Westerlee, Groningen, 
Holland. Presented by Hommo Ten Have. Received May 19. 
Western Wolths. "This new grass was produced "by selec- 
tion from ordinary rye grass in the county of Wester- 
wolde, Holland, near the German frontier. In appearance 
the seed cannot be distinguished from Italian rye grass, 
but Western Wolths grass is strictly an annual plant and 
far surpasses Italian rye grass in the rapidity of its 
growth and the weight of herbage. On good soils, when 
top-dressed with nitrate of soda, it may be cut 5 or 6 
times during the summer. It will thrive on almost all 
soils but best results are obtained on heavy loam, clay, 
or land of a somewhat damp character." (Extract from a 
circular issued by Hommo Ten Have, Wholesale Seed- 
Merchant. )
