Where a grass or grasses is desired for laying down for a period of 10 or more years, we would 

 recommend those marked ?, which have proven themselves as thoroughly adapted to the Northwest 

 and "Western States. They do well in mixture with clover and should be sown at the rate of 25 

 pounds per acre, four-fifths grasses to one-fifth clover seed. 



TIMOTHY— (Phleum pratense) — The most widely grown and probably most valuable grass used 

 for Hay in this country. It is a perennial, but runs out in a few years, and should be thickened 

 up annually with fresh sowings of Seed. It is often sown with Clover and Red Top and dots 

 best and has a higher feeding value when used in such combination. Most satisfactory crops 

 are secured on rich, rather heavy soils, as it is not as well adapted to light soils. Sow 15 lbs. 

 per acre, and use only the best Seed obtainable. Our stock is Wisconsin grown and thoroughly 

 recleaned.

BROMUS INERMIS, OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 



An exceedingly valuable grass, succeeds and produces immense crops of high nutritive value 

 on the sterile and arid plains of our Western States, growing luxuriantly on dry, sandy soils, where 

 other grasses would perish. It is perennial, and once sown down "will stand for 10 years. A good 

 Hay crop can be had the first season, followed afterwards by an immense amount of'succulent pas- 

 turage; two 'crops a year can be had from it, often running 



over 5 tons cured Hay per acre. When fully grown the 

 plant stands from 4 to 5 feet in height and stools out freely; 

 it is ready to cut the latter part of June. Sow broadcast at 

 the rate of 20 lbs. per acre (14 lbs. per bushel). Per lb. 20c;

 ing into use very early and again late in the fall. It should 

 form a prominent part in all permanent pasture and meadow 

 mixtures. (22 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 20c; per bushel 

 $3.35; per 100 lbs. $14.00.

 for permanent pastures and for Hay crops. It is very early,

 kinds of stock relish it greatly, and if cut when it comes 

 into flower makes excellent Hay. Thrives well on all soils

 furnishing a nice, sweet and tender herbage. Sow 20 to 25

 moist, rich soils.. It is highly relished by all kinds of stock, 

 endures close cropping, and forms a luxuriant aftermath. 

 Many farmers confound this with our wild Foxtail or
