Excerpt from Report of the Entomologist and Botanist, 1897
The Awnless Brome Grass having proved to be very successful in all parts of the Dominion, about 600 l-pound samples were last spring sent out to farmers in all the provinces. Such reports as have been received up to the present are, almost without exception, enthusiastic in their praises of this valuable grass. A special interest has been added to it lately by the discovery that it is particularly well suited for cultiva tion on alkaline patches where little else will grow.
During the year several thousands of specimens of plants and insects have been sent in for identification from naturalists in all parts of the Dominion. From these col lections several valuable additions have been made to the Experimental Farm museum.
