A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a good permanent grass, standmg our climate as well as any 
consequently well adapted to our pastures, in which it should be fed close, for if allowed to grow 
the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich soil it will grow 2 feet, and on poor gravelly soil, about half

the chaffy grade of Red Top, and offer only the cUan seed. Sow 15 pounds to the acre.

A wonderful drouth resister. A grass for the stock raiser. All cattle like it. Will drive out Russian Thistle, 
also Black Mustard. Drouth defying, frost resisting. Yields enormous crops of splendid hay and affords earlj 
and abundant pasturage. We have seen some very fine crops of Brome Grass and Alfalla mixed, which makes 
an excellent hay for horses and cattle. Try it. These both mature and cure at the same time. Our Peerless 
grade of this magnificent grass is unequalled for purity and high germination, and less seed is required to the 
acre than any other grade. From good seed, good crops grow. If sown alone, 20 lbs. to the acre.

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 and until late in the fall. When closely cropped il 
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 season, 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 elc. It is well suited for shady places, such as orchards and 
groves. Sow 22 lbs. to the acre when alone or proportionately with other grasses.

A strong-growing, hardy perennial grass, valuable both for grazing and hay. Also makes a fine lawn and 
does not require the close care that Blue Grass does, as it will flourish better under trees or in shady locations. 
For field crop sow 40 to 50 pounds to the acre. 
SUDAN GRASS 
One ol" the Most Remarkable New Forage Crops Grown. 
SUDAN GRASS Lb. (Postpaid) $1.00 
It is thought to be the original form of the cul- 
tivated 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 1 to 8 feet. The stems are small 
and somewhat more leafy than Johnson Grass, 
which il most nearly resembles. Like the So" 
ghum crop, it must be planted each spring and 
dies when the first frost comes. II usually ma- 
tures 90 days from planting. Its feeding value 
marks it easily as one of the dependable crop^ 
for the farm. 
HOW TO PLANT. 
Sudan Grass may he planted in cultivated rows, in 
closs drills, or l)roadc-a.st. When the supply of seed i.s 
limited, it is recommended that the crop be planted in 
cultivated rows thirty-si.x inclies apart, and for .such 
seeding, from one and one-half to three pounds of see:l 
per acre. In arid regions this is the best planting pro- 
cess. It should not lie planted until all danger of frost 
is past and the ground thoroughly warm, as the young 
plant is more tender than sorghum. 
HARVESTING. 
The crop should be cut for hay as soon as the grass 
is fully heade.l and early cutting is advised where the 
crop is to be used for hay. If grown for seed it should 
be cut when the .«eed is ripe and fully matured. It may 
be harvested with a mower or grain binder. If planted 
in drills it can be readily harvested with a corn binder. 
When sown for seed it is best to bind it as it is much 
Sudan Grass (The New Forage Crop.) easier to handle it in threshing.
