Broadcast or hydroseeded <br />applications will be double this rate. <br />** Tublings may be substituted for seeds at a comparable rate. <br />In addition to the seed mix described above, Colony <br />plans to test other species for reclaiming the Parachute <br />area. These include Bottlebrush Squirreltail (Sitanion <br />hystrix}, Galleta (Hilaria jamesii), Inland Saltgrass (6istichlis <br />spicata) and possibly Rubber Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus <br />nauseosus). These species will be seeded in a small test <br />area adjacent to those areas being seeded with the mix described <br />above. After several growing seasons, these species will be <br />evaluated to determine if they should be included with the <br />permanent seed mix for the Parachute area. <br />If you have comments, please contact me at 695-2220 in <br />Denver. <br />MAS:cs <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark A.
