Secale cereale 
ABRUZZI 
Abruzzi rye was introduced from Italy by the U.S.D.A. in 1900 and has given remark- 
ably good results in the greater part of the cotton belt. Rapid and vigorous in growth, 
it is very valuable for grazing and cover crop purposes and also produces good yields 
of grain under ordinary farming conditions. It is larger than other varieties of rye. 
BALBOA 
Introduced to this country from southern Europe and used for winter grazing and as 
a grain crop. Characterized by a rapid upright growth. Is more winter hardy than 
Abruzzi.
