GRASS SEEDS 
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 does best and has a higher feeding value when used 
in such combination. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, and use only 
the best Seed obtainable. 
Mendow Fescue, or English Blue Grass (Festuca pratensis)— 
One of the best of the natural or permanent meadow 
grasses. It succeeds on almost all soils, but attains its 
greatest perfection on moist, rich land. It should form a 
prominent part in all permanent pasture and meadow mix- 
tures. (22 lbs. to the bushel.) 
Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)—Is of exceptional value 
for permanent pastures and for Hay crops. It is very early, 
coming in ahead of all the other grasses. Thrives well on 
all soils and attains its greatest perfection on strong, moist 
and clay lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.) 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior)—It is the first grass 
to show itself in spring and grows rapidly in good soil, 
showing a height of 4 feet by June. It should be cut for 
Hay just as coming into bloom, will furnish 2 and 3 cut- 
tings per year, and is invaluable for early and late pas- 
turage. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. (10 lbs. per bushel.) 
CREEPING BENT GRASS (Agrostis Stolonifera)—One of the 
best for Putting Greens, developing a fibrous turf which 
withstands the severest usage. It is a splendid grass also 
for hay and pasture on bottom lands and not too heavy soil. 
(14 lbs. to the bushel.) 
AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 
(Bromus Inermis.) 
An exceedingly valuable grass; succeeds and produces im- 
mense 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. Two crops a 
year can be had from it, often running over 5 tons cured Hay 
per acre. Sow broadcast at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre (14 
lbs. per bushel.) 
Sudan Grass—Where it can be sown early enough it will yield 
two immense crops of Hay during a season, requiring less 
than two months to come to the proper cutting stage—just 
before heading out. Great for dry sections, but will thrive 
anywhere and on any soil. For seed sow about 4 lbs. per 
acre in rows 3 feet apart. When broadcasted or drilled in 
for hay or fodder 16 to 24 lbs. per acre are required. 
Kentucky Blue Grass (June Grass or Smooth-Stalked Meadow 
Grass, Fancy cleaned) (Poa pratensis)—One of the first 
grasses to start in the spring; relished by all kinds of stock 
and succeeds on a great variety of soils. Fancy cleaned 
Seed. Sow 30 lbs. per acre. (19 lbs. per bushel.) 
Kentucky Blue Grass, Extra Fancy Seed for Lawns—(21 Ibs. 
per bushel.) 
Red Top (Choice Unhulled Seed)—(Agrostis vulgaris) —Grows 
on almost all soils, but does best on moist lands. (14 lbs. 
per bushel.) 
Red Top, Fancy Extra Re-cleaned Seed for Lawns—Valuable 
for sowing down in lawns. (32 lbs. per bushel.) 
Crested Dog’s Tail (Cynosurus cristatus)—A fine dwarf-grow- 
ing evergreen grass, particularly adapted for hard, dry 
soils, and. hills pastured by sheep. (20 lbs. per bushel.) 
English Rye Grass (Lolium perenne)—One of the best and 
most nutritious grasses. It endures close cropping and 
recovers quickly after cutting. (24 lbs. per bushel.) 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium Italicum)—An excellent variety 
producing a nutritious feed in early spring. (18 lbs. per 
bushel.) 
Tall Fescue (Festuca elatior)—-A tall-growing grass particu- 
larly adapted for strong clay and wet soils; stands over- 
flowing and should form a part of all mixtures for marshes 
and wet lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.) 
Wood Mendow Grass (Poa nemoralis)—Grows naturally in 
shady places and moist, rich soils. Forms a close sod and 
should be sown in shady places in lawn. (14 lbs. per 
bushel.) 
Sheep’s Fescue (Festuca Ovina)—Should form a large part of 
all mixtures for sheep grazing. In growth it is short and 
dense, deep rooted and not easily affected by drought. (14 
lbs, per bushel.) 
Red or Creeping Fescue (Festuca Rubra)—Is of creeping habit, 
and the roots penetrate so deeply into the soil that it re- 
mains green after other grasses have dried up. Valuable for 
dry pastures and light soils. Highly esteemed also as a 
lawn grass. (14 lbs. per bushel.) 
MILLETS 
Japanese Millet—(Panicum crus-galli)—“Billion Dollar Grass.” 
—Is entirely distinct from any other. It yields an enor- 
mous crop of forage, which is greatly relished by stock. 
When cured it makes excellent Hay. A splendid silage 
may be made by mixing two parts Japanese Millet with 
Sand Vetch or Soy Beans, forming a complete balanced 
ration for milch cows. Sow the Seed broadcast at the rate 
of 30 lbs. to the acre, or in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, 
using 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. (36 lbs. to the bushel.) 
Common Millet—Very early; grows 3 to 4 feet high; follage 
broad. Sow 1 bushel to the acre. (50 lbs. to the bushel.) 
Golden Millet—Matures about two weeks later than Common 
Millet. The Seed we offer is Southern grown, and so much 
better is it than Northern grown that more than double the 
quantity of fodder is produced on the same ground. It 
grows from 4 to 5 feet high. Sow 1 bushel to the acre. 
(50 lbs. to the bushel.) 
Hungarian (Grass) Millet—Medium early; grows 3 to 5 feet 
high; withstands drought and yields well on light soil. 
Sow 40 to 50 lbs. to the acre. (48 lbs. to the bushel.) 
CURRIE’S ALFALFA 
(Lucerne. ) 
MEDICAGO SATIVA, 
STRICTLY CHOICE DOMESTIC. 
Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It may be cut 3 to 
4 times a season, each cutting bringing enormous yields (10 
tons and more) of sweet nutritious forage much relished by 
all kinds of stock. It is an excellent soiling crop and makes 
the best of hay when properly treated, being in itself the 
nearest approach of any farm product to a perfect ration. 
The Seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 to 25 
pounds per acre, and seeding may take place from about the 
middle of April, or earlier, should the ground be in good con- 
dition, until late in August or September, with or without a 
nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and well- 
drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The inoculation of 
the seed with a commercial culture such as “Nitragin” (see 
below), immediately before sowing will materially assist in 
the production of a crop and will increase the yield. The 
seed should never be sown on heavy, sticky clay land where 
water stands a short distance below the surface. As a land 
enricher Alfalfa is unsurpassed. The long roots, 10 to 16 
feet under ground, bring up lots of buried mineral fertilizer, 
while like.all the Clover family, it is a great nitragin gath- 
erer. No farmer should be without it. 
Genuine Montana Grown Seed—Recleaned. Because of the 
particularly rigorous climatic conditions of Montana, 
strains of Alfalfa produced in that state are considered 
better able to withstand the severe winters and trying 
conditions of other northern states. 
Northern Grown Seed—Finest Quality. Recleaned. Suited to 
conditions of practically all northern sections. 
Grimm’s Alfalfa—Recognized as the hardiest of all Alfalfa 
strains. Genuine certified stock. 
LARGER CROPS IN FIELD AND GARDEN 
If you use 
The Improved Soil Inoculator, Nobbe-Hiltner Process 
Restores and Maintains Soil Fertility 
Alfalfa, clovers, soybeans, vetches, peas, beans, cowpeas, 
peanuts and other legumes should always be inoculated with 
Nitragin. The lack of necessary bacteria in the soil {is often 
the cause of a poor leSume crop—a weak start—or a total 
failure. 
A GREAT PRICE REDUCTION. 
Nitragin Costs Less, 
Nitragin now comes in Bushel sizes instead of acre sizes. 
This means that it costs you less per acre than inferior imita- 
tions. If you sow 12 pounds of seed to the acre it will only 
cost you 20 cents for your Nitragin. It means that Your 
Dollar Goes Further With Nitragin. 
Nitragin is an old, reliable inoculator. At the low price 
of 20 to 33 cents per acre you cannot afford to sow legumes 
without it. Nitragin is put up in the modern ventilated pack- 
age; in a rich, soil-like packing medium. The contents are 
always fresh, living bacteria to feed your plants. Easy to 
use. 
EVERY FARM AND EVERY GARDEN NEEDS NITRAGIN.
