Wide tolerance to both moisture and drouth. 

Will stand both excessive moisture and drouth. 
Partially tolerant to alkali. 
Well drained loam with frequent irrigations. 
Grows during winter months producing feed 
when other legumes are not growing. Usually 
reseeds itself. 
Stands considerable drouth. Not a grass plant. 
Use only in mixtures. 
Prefers heavy soil in high altitudes. Drouth 
resistant. 
Best on clay soils. Withstands drouth.. Forms 
heavy sod. 

Adapted to light soils and shaded locations. 

Deep rooted and drouth resistant. 

Will Stand excessive moisture. ls also drouth 
resistant when established. 
Produces good growth during winter months in 
central valleys. Drouth resistant. 

Most widely used of all pasture clovers. Re- 
quires frequent irrigation; will bloat unless 
planted with grasses. 
Light to heavy soils, well drained. Excellent 
in mixtures. 
Best on medium soils not excessively moist. 
Somewhat drouth resistant. Widely used. 
Rich, well-drained soils. Not adapted to the 
central valleys. 


Wide adaption—dry to wet. Seldom used in 
central valleys. 

Swampy lands in cool locations. Not adapted to 
warmer areas. 

Will tolerate some alkali, and make good sum- 
mer growth in warm areas. 
Widely adapted to all soils with sufficient irri- 
gation. Generally used in mixtures. 
Best of the Ryegrasses. Slower in growth than 
the annual, but grows for longer period. 
Needs constant moisture supply but will toler- 
ate some alkali. 
Produces early feed on light soils. 
Well drained soils, moderate irrigation. Will 
withstand considerable alkali. 
Well drained soils, moderate irrigation. Will 
withstand considerable alkali. Adapted only to 
warmer areas.

withstand considerable alkali. 
Similar to Meadow Fescue, but taller. Same 
soil and moisture conditions. 
Adapted to cold regions. Partially drouth re- 
sistant. 
Requires cool, moist climate. Not adapted to 
central valleys. 
Adapted to most soils (except alkali) when 
frequent irrigation is possible. Ladino is nre- 
ferable.
