CODE: A 5 digit item code is needed to order items from our catalog. The first 3 digits designate each individual variety and can be found in column 1 under the CODE designation. The remaining 2 digits designate the size of the package. Please add the appropriate 2 digit size code when ordering grass seeds: 1/2 oz. = 08, 1 oz. = 09, 1/4 lb. = 11, 1/2 lb. = 12, 1 lb. = 13, 5 lbs. = 15. 50 lbs. = 20.

N/I: N = Native to the Mountain West. I = Introduced to the Mountain West. Many are naturalized, common and widespread enough to be mistaken as native.

HEIGHT: Height of grass blades/Height of flowering stalks.

B/S: B = Bunch grasses form separate, independent clumps if unattended in the wild. Bunches can be planted closely together to create tightly knit sod as in the case of hard of sheep fescue. Usually this requires supplemental water and ocasional fertilizer. S = Sod forming grasses naturally form a carpet-like turf.

PRECIP: Minimum annual inches of rainfall to establish without irrigation.

SOIL: Preferred soil or soil limitations.

LB/AC: Recommended pounds of seed per acre seeding rate for large reclamation areas.

LB/M: Recommended pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet for smaller, backyard-sized landscape areas.
