BROME GRASS 
BKOME GRASS— (Bonuis Incrmis, "Peerless" Grade.) Lb. (Postpaid), 30c; by Express or Freight 
at Purchaser's Expense, Lb., 20c; 25 Lbs., $4.00; 100 Lbs $14-00 
A wonderful drouth resister. A grass for the stock r,aiser. All cattle like it. Will drive 
out Russian Thistle, also Black Mustard. Drouth defying, frost resisting. Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay and affords early and abundant pasturage. We have seen some very 
fine crops of Brome Grass and Alfalfa mixed, which makes an excellent hay for horses and 
cattle. Try it. These both mature and cure at the same lime. Our Peerless grade of 
this magnificent grass is unequalled for purity and high germination, and less seed is re- 
quired to the acre than any other grade. From good seed, good crops grow. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
ORCHARD GRASS— ("Peerless" Grade.) Lb. (Postpaid), 35c; by Express or Freight at Purchaser's 
Expense, Lb., 30c; 25 Lbs., $6.00; 100 Lbs : $23.00 
A valuable grass for pasture or hay land, and on account of its earliness is very valuable for 
a permanent pasture. It furnishes the first green grass in the spring land until late m the 
fall. When closely cropped it grows up very quickly and is ready for grazing again in 
ten to twelve days.- When grown for hay, more than one crop can be obtained in one sea- 
son and when only one crop is cut the aftergrowth is very heavy and gives splendid and rich pasture till late in 
the'fall. It will stand drouth and is hardy. It grows in tufts, and is therefore best sown with Red Clovers, rye 
grass, etc. It is well suited for shady places, such as orchards and groves. 
RYE GRASS 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS— ("Peerless" Grade.) Lb. Postpaid), 25c; by Express or Freight at Purchaser's Expense Lb., 
20(" 25 Lbs $3 25' 100 Lbs $11.50 
A stronK-Kr'owins! hardy perenniai grass, valuable both for grazing and hay. Also makes a fine l,awn and does not 
require the close care that Blue Grass does as it will flourish better under trees or m shady locations. 
SUDAN GRASS 
One of the Most Remarkable New Forage Crops Grown. 
Sudan Grass. 
SUDAN GRASS. Lb. (Postpaid), 25c; by Ex- 
press or Freight at Purchaser's Expense, Lb.,

It is thought to be the original form of the 
cultivated sorghum. It was brought to the 
United States by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture in 1909. It is a tall annual grass, 
and ranges in height from 4 to 8 feet. The 
stems are small and somewhat more leafy 
than Johnson Gnass, which it most nearly re- 
sembles. Like the Sorghum crop, it must be 
planted each spring and dies when the first 
frost comes. It usually matures 90 days 
from planting. Its feeding value marks it 
easily as one of the dependable crops for the 
farm. 
HOW TO PLANT. 
Sudan Grass may be planted in cultiviated 
rows, in close drills or broadcast. Sow from 
one and one-half to three pounds of seed per 
acre, if for cultivated rows 5 lbs. to the acre 
if drilled, and if sown broadcast 16 to 24 lbs. to 
the acre. In arid regions this is the best plant- 
ing process. It should not be planted until all 
dianger of frost is past and the ground thor- 
oughly warm, as the young plant is more tender 
than sorghum.
