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 the 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 does best and 

 has a higher feeding talue 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.

 BKOMUS INERMIS, OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 



An exceedingly valuable grass, succeeds and and produces immense crops of high nutritive value on the sterile and arid plains 

 of our AVestern States, growing lu.xuriantly 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; per bushel $2..25; per 100 lbs. $14.00.
